During summer your children are at home more often – how do you keep them entertained and out of your hair?
So many summer craft ideas for kids involve mess: glue, markers, crayons, scissors – it’s enough to drive any parent mad!
So how do you get around the mess and still keep your kids happy and creative?
One novel and unique idea are the Bendaroos, which are flexible bending sticks. These might sound plain by name, but not by nature!
What they do is allow your kids to draw without markers, build without blocks and do a whole stack of other activities that will keep them mentally and physically stimulated for hours at a time.
I gave my kids several packs of these bending sticks two months back and they have just been right into them ever since; in fact not a day goes by when they haven’t played with them!
Not bad for children aged as young as 4 and as old as 10! I dare say that kids up to 12 would get a kick out of this stuff too.
I really dislike summer craft ideas for kids that are so messy that you spend hours cleaning up after the kids have finished. Of course, it is always you who is left to tidy up. The flexible sticks don’t need tidying though. Your kids can draw what they like (or build what they like) and then it can be easily packed away for next time.
