Today I am going to take you on a tour around the planet of Homemade Fun!  With summer coming to an end, don’t give up on being creative and trying something adventurous.

How about making the best playdough of the year? Or slime your children with homemade bubbles! You can always build a ship in a bottle or use a bottle to launch a rocket; but nothing will compare to a rocket that blasts with the use of water. So, plan on making some homemade paint and decorating a creative cardboard castle; or better yet, build a volcano that can ooze onto colorful bouncy balls or silly putty!!!

After trying all this terrific homemade fun, be sure to grab your puppy and sit him down for a homemade treat that your children made all by themselves!!

Enjoy getting creative. Enjoy getting a little messy. Let me know what your try…
