Activities for Kids: All Things Underwater

Have your kids said the dreaded word yet this summer? You know the one I am thinking of….. I am bored?

As a homeschool mom, activities for kids that encourage creativity, learning and skill building are so important to me!

Here is a collection of crafts and activities that will get kids using their brain, their hands and encourage using their imagination.  They will learn along the way while having fun. Isn’t that the best way to learn?
