12 Summer Craft Ideas to Make with Your Grandkids

May 11, 2016 by AllFreeKidsCrafts

I am 7 years old and my face and hands are covered in paint. I am about to throw an open bottle of glitter at my 5-year-old cousin Michael because he said my painting was dumb (a statement with which I disagreed and thought was quite rude). My grandma deftly snatches the glitter bottle out of my hand just as I am about to let it fly. Grandma makes us apologize to each other before we get to taste the cookies she just made. Our apologies aren’t very sincere but she seems satisfied and relieved her carpet isn’t coated in glitter.

It’s one of those memories I’ll never forget even though it was just a regular summer day on a visit to Grandma’s in South Carolina. Before she started baking, she was painting with us and answering all of our questions about her favorite colors and if we could paint the living room with some of these paints (the answer was pink and yellow and no we certainly could not). I’ll never forget it because it was a lot of fun to sit at the table and play with paints and hear my grandmother exclaim what beautiful masterpieces we’d made and then stick them on the fridge where everyone who came in the house could see them.
