Looking for a some cooling down fun but don't have a pool or slip n' slide? Fill up lots of balloons with water and hang them up in a place where they can become Water Balloon Pinata's!!!! What a better way to spend a hot day with water balloons without the worry of you or your child getting hit too hard with a fast flying balloon! (Everyone's had a round red circle place from a water balloon hit... It can get painful!)

All you need is -- Balloons, Yarn/String, Water, Hard stick or bat and WATER!!!

Ice Jewelry -- Blog Me Mom

Photo and Idea from Blog Me Mom

Try adding some tasty style to your Summer play with Ice Jewelry! You can simply use water and food coloring but I believe using the Popsicle's that come in liquid form, is a wayy better idea! Kool-Aid would work as well! --Make sure your kids aren't wearing anything that can't get stained since the melting ice may stain.

Supplies Needed:

• 1 or 2 Ice Cube Trays - Regular trays work fine - Shapes are more fun
• Thread/String
• Popcicle Liquid

Ice Boats -- Reading Confetti

Photo and Idea from Reading Confetti

Ice seems to have many fun options of creating fun. These adorable Ice Boats are sure to be tons of fun for not only the boys but the girls too! You can even make a DIY tin foil river to give your boats a path to take! Doesn't it sound exciting!! Instead of the river you could use a bucket, water table or other large container to hold water for the Ice Boat to float around in. The boats are made the same way that Kool-Aid Popsicle's are but with a toothpick or small twig stuck into the tops.

Supplies Needed:

• Ice Cube Trays
• Toothpicks or small twigs/sticks
• Scrap paper for boat sail
• Tin Foil (Optional but fun - Cheep Dollar Store Brand works fine)
• Water Hose and Hook-up

The water blob reminds me so much of an under-filled water-bed mattress and looks like it just may be the coolest water activity that I've found yet!

Add squishy bath toys and glitter to the center of the blob before sealing it and have a search game as well as the top play fun!
