Free or Nearly Free Activities - Part 4

Activities to do with your kids.

Here are a few fun frugal things you can do with your kids.

Buy some sidewalk chalk and get your children to make up and tell a story by just drawing pictures.

Make some homemade Play-Doh. Making it is half the fun.

In the summer make a slip-and-slide out of a tarp and hose.

Go on a meandering walk with your children letting them pick the directions.

Get out some tools and wood or some craft items and make some toys with your kids. It's free if you have the materials already and fosters skills in your child.

In the summer time find out if there are any nearby berry farms that let you pick your own. Cycle there as a family and pick berries.

Blow bubbles. Mix a cup of dish washing detergent into a gallon of water slowly, slow enough not to make suds. Bend an old coat hanger into loops, dip it into the mixture, and blow through the loops.
