Five Fun Things to do with Your Kids

There are times, as parents, when we run out of ideas on what to do with our children. We can only do some much playing outside, watching a movie or coloring at the table. Sometimes some of the best things to do is learning how to make homemade items and then getting to play with them. These are great activities for rainy days or days you want to spend indoors. My top five favorite homemade recipes are for the following: sidewalk chalk, pizza, paints, play dough, and bubbles. Check out these cool recipes and "how to" videos to see if your family would enjoy one of these activities!
