#1: Puffy Paint Popsicles

Making your own puffy paint is fun and easy! This popsicle craft is great for a summer craft.

I love the added poms and sprinkles on the popsicles!

How to do this activity

A. Materials you need

View Amazon’s Price

B. Set-up

Make puffy paint by mixing equal parts of Elmer’s white glue and foam shaving cream together in a bowl. Add the food coloring and stir.

Create a popsicle shape on cardstock paper and cut it out. It has to be cardstock paper to hold the puffy paint.

C. Activity

Scoop out the puffy paint and spread it out around the popsicle shape.

You can make the popsicle several different colors or just one!

Add sprinkles and poms on at the end and let it dry overnight. Feel it in the morning to see how soft and squishy it is.


#2: Ice Paints

Creating ice paints is super easy and fun for kids to use as a summer craft.

This can be an indoor fun craft to do on a hot summer day.

How to do this activity

A. Materials you need

B. Set-up

Add some washable paint into the paint tray. We got a large silicone square ice mold for this so the paints were larger.

I didn’t measure this out at all, I just dumped some paint and water in the mold.

Then, add water in the tray and mix each one up with a popsicle stick or spoon.

YouTube video

C. Activity

Break a popsicle stick in half and place one in each section of the paints so it’s easy for the kids to use.

Then, stick the paints in the freezer overnight.

Pull them out and run the bottom under warm water for a few seconds to loosen up the ice paints and pull them out.

Have the kids create lines, color in pictures, or create designs of their own!


#3: Boat Crafts

Make your own boats this summer for your kids to play with in the water!

This is great to make for the pool, water table, or even just a plastic container. This summer activity is perfect for kids.

How to do this activity

A. Materials you need

  • pool noodles
  • knife (adult will use)
  • wine corks
  • small rubber bands
  • sponges
  • skewers
  • foam paper
  • scissors

B. Set-up

Cut the pool noodle into small sections using a knife. The adult will do this part of the project.

Grab the rest of your supplies to make the boats!

YouTube video

C. Activity

Create a triangle shape out of foam paper and cut it out. Then, cut a skewer to be able to fit on the foam paper. Poke holes at the bottom and top of the foam paper to make the sail. You will do this for each of the types of boats.

To make the wine cork boats, grab 3 wine corks and wrap two small rubber bands around them to hold them together. Then, poke the skewer through the middle wine cork to make the boat!

Create the sponge boats by cutting a little off of the sponge so it’s not so big. Then, poke the skewer through to make the boat. I suggest using a more heavy-duty sponge, we used the dollar store brand, and it didn’t hold up as well.

Lastly, make the pool noodle boats by poking the skewer through one side of the pool noodle, and you have three boats!

Add water to a sensory bin. You can use blue food coloring to color it or leave it the way it is.

Let the kids play with the boats by using a straw to blow them around. They can also just play with them with their hands or even add small toys to them.


#4: DIY Lava Lamps

One of our favorite experiments to do at home is to make our own lava lamps!

This is a great summer craft and activity! It’s super easy and fun to do too.

How to do this activity

A. Materials you need

B. Set-up

In your jars, fill it half way up with baby oil. We use larger jars, but any glass cup or jar will work. Fill it half way so when you add the Alka-Seltzer it does overflow.

C. Activity

In small bowls, add a few squirts of acrylic paint. We used red, white, and blue for this experiment! This is perfect for Memorial Day or July 4th.

Then, mix a tablespoon of water with the acrylic paint in the bowl.

Dump that mixture into your glass jar with the baby oil.

If you want to add glitter or stars, you can do this! This is completely optional. It’s just a fun addition to the activity to see them move in the lava lamps.

Lastly, when you are ready, break up an Alka-Selter tablet and drop all the pieces into the jar/glass.

Check out your lava lamps!! This experiment lasts for a few minutes, you can always add more Alka-Seltzer tablets to keep it going!

I suggest adding an art tray underneath your experiment so if it overflowers it will make for easy clean up!


#5: Plate Sunshine

Looking for ways to keep your kids learning over summer break? This is a fun summer craft to practice the alphabet.

I love how bright this sun craft is! This craft also works on strengthening fine motor skills.

How to do this activity

A. Materials you need

B. Set-up

Paint your paper plate yellow using acrylic paint. We like to use acrylic paint because the colors turn out bolder.

While you are waiting for the plate to dry, write the letters on your clothespins. We practiced matching upper to lower case letters but you can also practice matching the same letters.

YouTube video

C. Activity

Onec the plate is dry, create a face for the sun! Then, write the letters around the sun on the outside of the plate.

Have the kids match up the letters with the clothespin. They will open the clothespin and attach it to the correct letter.

Have the kids say the letters out loud so you know they know what each letter is.

This watermelon handprint craft is adorable for a kick off to summer craft for the end of the year.

Handprint crafts are the best. They are always the crafst we end up keeping throughout the years.

B. Set-up

Lay out the white towel and use duct tape to form the letters of your child’s name on the towel.

Then, add water to the spray bottles with the tie-dye powder.

YouTube video

C. Activity

Spread out a tablecloth down on the ground. You can do this on cement or grass. I suggest doing it on the grass because tie-dye can stain the cement.

Then, lay out the towel! Have the kids start spraying the towel with the tie-dye paint! They should paint the entire towel and not leave any white spots.

Let it air dry. Then, peel off the tape to reveal your kids’ names! Once one side is dry, you can flip it over and paint the other side if it didn’t go all the way through. The spray bottles tend to be weaker than the squirt bottles, so they may not soak through.

Follow the steps to ensure the tie-dye color stays!

flower pot crafts for kids

How to do this activity

A. Materials you need

B. Set-up

Before painting your flower pot, make sure to spray it with a clear sealer outdoors. We did this a day before we did the project because it tends to have a smell to it, and I wanted it to be all dry and ready to go for them the next day!

YouTube video

C. Activity

The kids will paint the pots using acrylic paint. To ensure the kids won’t get stains on their clothes, we used our apron from KiwiCo. I really recommend this product for this activity and any other art activity!

Wait for your flower pots to dry (this will take about 30 minutes to dry completely).

Then, use acrylic paint markers to draw designs on them! We used our KiwiCo acrylic paint markers (my new favorite supply). I love the fact that they have the look of acrylic paint, they are easy for the kids to use, and it dries quickly!

We made a watermelon pot, a teacher’s gift (thanks for helping me grow), and we did some fingerprint flowers!

When the kids are all done making their designs, use the sealer one more time to coat the paint so it won’t wash off when it rains outside!  Then, add your flowers in the pot!

This is such a beautiful craft and a great way to teach children how to garden and take care of plants!
