What is a better way to pass the time in the summer heat than crafting? Answer, nothing at all! I have put together a perfect list of summer crafts that your children are sure to love. Spend some sitting back, relaxing, and hanging with the family doing these fun activities.

1. Pet Rocks! This is honestly my personal favorite. When I was younger, my favorite thing to do was to go looking for rocks outside and paint them. This used to be extremely popular back in the 70s. They were a huge craze and super trendy. It is finally time to bring them back! They are a fun, cheap, and easy craft for your kids to make. Not to mention, they are adorable.
