 Dear FAMILY Friend,
The lazy days of summer can sometimes be just that- lazy! While having lazy days can be relaxing, for kids they can get old quickly. If you're looking for a new activity to try to stop the "I'm bored!"s, you should try making your own chalk! Not only is it fun and creative, but it will keep your kids entertained and playing outside. It's much easier than it sounds! Find out how, here! Show us how your masterpieces turn out on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram! |
