Fun summer crafts kits
One of my favorite websites for inexpensive summer fun is orientaltrading.com. They sell all sorts of fun craft kits, ones for small and big kids (ok and adults who like to sneak in on the action too).
The site even says, "Over 700 Craft Projects under a dollar each!". And it isn't hard to find coupons for the site online to make it even cheaper – in fact here is one for you now, code WC96927 will get you 15% off an order of $50 or more if you order before June 20, 2008.
We keep some of the kits on hand for rainy days and they make fun activities when families are hanging out at summer bbqs. The kits always have enough to make several to a dozen of each item. The kits are also great for making gifts for family members especially with Father's Day around the corner. A great one for dad would be this Color Your Own Travel Mugs for Dads.
Some of the kits we've used in the past:
- Waving Flag Door Hanger Craft Kit (great for July 4th!)
- Natural Seashell Box Craft Kit
- Make-Your-Own Body Glitter Craft Kit
Just a small disclosure, the site does sell some of Christian craft items as well. They are great for Sunday School stuff but of course you skip them if they aren't your cup of tea.
