Things To Do With Kids

Columbus, OH July 07, 2012

This summer?s heat wave can sometimes put a stop to summer fun. The editors of Highlights magazine have posted some ideas for kids to stay busy, and cool, at Highlights.com/Newsroom. Here are a few suggestions for activities to ride out the heat:

1.????Fill a wading pool with water, and create ?splashdance? routines with friends.

2.????Instead of putting ice cubes in your lemonade, use frozen grapes and berries for a sweet twist.

3.????Play sponge tag! Whoever is It uses a soft, wet sponge to tag other players. (It cannot throw the sponge).

4.????Make a ?Floating Water Lilies? centerpiece (instructions at HighlightsKids.com).

5.????Play ice checkers! Use 12 regular ice cubes and 12 cubes made with a grape frozen inside each one. Use chalk to draw a checkerboard on the sidewalk. To ?king? a checker, place a penny on top of it. Play until the checkers melt!

6.????Make ice cube glue! Download instructions for this and other ice activities at Highlights.com/newsroom.
