21. How to Make a Sticky Sand Dough

As a mother, the thought of actually creating sand seems counter-intuitive but this summer kids projectis a hit. The sand stays outside of course, and the fact that it sticks to itself keeps this kids craft outdoors where it belongs making one happy mama’s mood match that of her children.

22. How to make Glow in the Dark Bubbles

Growing a Jeweled Rose

My kids ogled these glow in the dark bubbles and we made this recipe for a glow in the dark party they attended and it was a huge hit. This is a fun craft for kids and teens both to enjoy. I recommend only using this recipe outdoors so you don’t have to run around chasing bubbles away from every piece of furniture and carpeting in your home.

23. DIY Bird Feeders

This is another one of those summer projects that’s not only best made outside, but it only works if it stays outside. You don’t need lots of artistic ability or hours of summer art lessons to make these DIY bird feeders. These cute, easy craft ideas a reasonable art project for the less artistically inclined (like myself). Plus, you can make bird watching an outdoor activity for kids to log all the comings and goings of birds, or you can observe from the comfort of your home depending on where you hang them.

These DIY easy projects are awesome kids crafts for the outdoors. Making these upcycling projects for my little ones to enjoy in the backyard was one of the best things we did for summertime entertainment.
