Water fun in the sun.

There are so many free or cheap activities that can keep children occupied in the summer and here is a great one to do on a sunny day.

Provide the children with buckets of water and various painting tools and then let your driveway or a patio be their canvas.

The kids will have great fun painting their pictures, being creative and developing their fine motor skills and, best of all, the sun will dry them up and they can start again!
A great idea would be to photograph their works of art.

An alternate activity would be to get the children to 'paint' the fence, if you have wooden fencing around your back yard.

Loads of sunny, water fun and no mess to clear up afterwards!
