For the activities I got a bunch of little games from Target in the Dollar aisle… LOVE THE CRAZY BRIGHT COLORS!
…The first thing we did was make the “board” for the game with the tape and write with the chalk different activities that the children suggested on each of the empty spaces… Some of the SUMMERLICIOUS fun included:
So…Let me share with you some of the pics of our favorite activities… The noodle fight while JUMPING on the trampoline was
SO MUCH FUN!
{ “TRAMPOLIN” is what you get when a Spaniard asks her 10 years old daughter how to spell TRAMPOLINE …Oops! }
…The kids loved the Spoon Egg Race.
This was ADORABLE!
My favorite however were the simple little activities as
“Be a CLOWN”
and of course the best one of all for me… “REST FOR A TURN AND LET YOUR MAMA KISS YOU ;)”
When we were done playing it took less than 5 minutes to clean up… {ALWAYS A PLUS IN OUR HOME} We just put everything back inside of the box that I prelabeled using vinyl…
…and cleaned the deck with water to get rid of the chalk.
This would be a great easy idea for any summer or birthday party. Don’t keep the tape on your deck… the sun will bake the tape and you’ll NEVER be able to remove it AGAIN… TRUST ME!
I am thinking to use the “board” idea for some other theme activities as a remedy for the “I am bored”syndrome that at least my children seem to have all summer long 😉 “Nature Hunts” or “Pretend School” are some of the themes that came into my mind…
Who would know that a roll of Dollar $tore Masking Tape could create so much fun!
