You don’t need much to create your own fun play activities right at home. Take ice for example. How about creating your own science experiment by making volcanoes or salt sculptures with it? Or try erupting chalk or painting with ice cubes for a fun sensory and artistic project. Take these playful activities outdoors and have some summer fun which will keep the kids cool while learning AND having fun!
