15 fantastic crafts to keep your kids busy this summer!

Even though my kids don’t go to school, we still usually take the summer ‘off’ – we’re generally busy with holidays, catching up with friends, summer activities and {hoepfully} enjoying the sunshine! I still like to have some fun activities planned, to fill those days we spend at home with nothing particular to do {they are my favourite kind of day}, and if your kids who are used to the business of school having a list of ideas to fill those six long weeks can be a lifesaver. I’ve rounded up a few activites that are perfect to keep your kids occupied this summer
