These are fun ideas, my son got a cape at a birthday party last year and he wears it all the time.
We have made the crayons and chalk and the rock puppets are on my list. Love these ideas!
I love the many ideas that will help us have a fun summer. I really like the DIY crayons we have so many broken ones nice to reuse them and make them useable again. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your DIY Summer fun.
I love the idea of the chalk but we don’t have anywhere that we can use it… downside to living in the country! But that cape… now that is perfect!
I’ve always wanted to reuse old crayons and make them into new shapes. They’re so pretty!
This may be the summer I decide to get crafty – I love each of these ideas! So fun!
we will definitely be doing the chalk and crayons this summer. my son will be so excited! thanks for the great ideas!
We’ve done the crayons before, but I think tomorrow we might just paint some rocks!! Sounds like a fun time! Thanks for sharing.
I love the cape idea my son loves superheros he would would this.
I remember when we painted ‘pet rocks’ when I was growing up.
The rocks look so great in the garden and the kids painted the names of herbs on them . We always have bits of crayons left over so we will have to try making them into new shapes. The cape is so cute its fun to dress up.
My son has just reached the age were I can start doing crafts and activities with out him trying to eat everything. He has a mask and cuffs so the super hero cape is the next logical addition. And I also want to try the chalk. I think he would really enjoy drawing with them.
These are great! I just shared and want my daughters to check it out and I’m thinking they may want to do some of these. Thanks!
These are some great craft ideas. I’d love to try the Cape for my grandson who truly believes he’s a super Hero. 🙂
Thanks for sharing. And the way he has his Mom and Dad wrapped around his little fingers I have to agree. lol
