We have found some more fun activities to keep the boys busy this summer.
On one rainy day, we made an aquarium and the boys loved it! They cut out fish and drew faces on them. Aiden made a "Nemo" fish and Ty made the large purple fish which he called "the daddy fish". Ty made a shark, Aiden made an octopus (with only 4 legs) and I made the turtle, which Aiden said looked old. We went to an empty lot in our neighborhood to find rocks and a small plant to put in our aquarium. Ty loved cutting, one piece of paper must have been cut a hundred times which left me picking up tiny scraps for weeks!
On a different day we did a rainbow melted crayons project. Of course this was fascinating because the boys got to use the hair dryer and watch as the crayons dripped down the canvas. It was fun and turned out really neat! Great for broken crayons (we had plenty).
Of course we have our outside time and Mark loves being outside. He loves to watch his brothers play or ride bikes. He is usually content for at least an hour when we're outside.
and when my creative ideas run out, we can always build a fort. For some reason with boys, that never gets old. :-)
