This summer feels like a snowball rolling down a mountain. All 3 kiddos are starting school this year and my oldest got into an advanced math class. That means our schedules are loaded up with meetings, appointments, and meet the teacher nights (which fall on multiple days now). It’s total chaos.

To try to take some of the pressure off, I’m trying to keep the kiddos entertained. That’s where these easy kids crafts and activities come into play. If you’re feeling the pressure of the school year (or simply the stress of summer break) whip out some of these for your kiddos.
