We're halfway through the summer but there is still time to do some fun activities with your kids and family. Thanks to The Crafting Chicks, here is a fun way to choose what to do for the rest of your summer.

Instructions:
Get 3 mason jars and label them "Activities & Games", "Let's Eat!", and "Oh, the Places We'll Go!"

- "Activities & Games" = Fun things to do such as jump on the trampoline, play freeze tag, go on a scavenger hunt or make giant bubbles.
- "Let's Eat!" = Ideas for delicious treats or anything having to do with food! Cupcakes, fruit kebabs or a fondue party are some ideas.

How To Make Galaxy Slime

Thanks to Two-Daloo, you can make galaxy slime at home with your kids. Here's what you need:

• 1 bottle of Elmer's Clear School Glue (5 oz)
• 1/2-3/4  cup Sta-Flo Liquid Starch 
• Liquid watercolors (several squirts until you get the desired color)
• Fine glitter in a variety of colors

Mix the glue, watercolors, and glitter first, then slowly add in the starch. You'll need to use your hands to knead the slime once after you have added all of the starch. You can stop kneading once you've reached the desired consistency.
