A Crafty Soiree #40

Last week was my four year old's last day of preschool sniff, sniff...can't believe I have a soon to be kindergartener!  But before June rolls around we're going to have lots of fun and I've got three features from our link ups last week to help us get started!

Laura from Come Together has pulled five of her best summer fun ideas to make one great list with things like homemade sidewalk chalk paint, spongeballs, melted crayon painting, and more...you'll be all prepared for the dreaded, "Mom, I'm bored!"  She's even got a Summer Fun Party Link Up post with more ideas, you can share some of your own too!

Have you ever heard of Marshmallow Shooters?  Heidi at Mom's Crafty Space has got instructions on how to make them, and they sure look like a lot of fun!

Becky at Fakin' It has a Summer Bucket List, literally made to look like buckets, cute idea huh?  I think it's great to get your kids involved with creating your list of things to do.
