The Rainy Days of Summer - or the Way Too Hot Days of Summer 

Deserve some indoor summer fun.

This Arts & Craft Box of goodies has craft projects to start the creativeness and then the
* sketchpad and markers, crayons, paints, or color pencils to let the mind/hands experiment.
* The 6 suncatchers can be painted with the glass glaze paints in 12 colors. They would be a nice touch to a child's window or they might give them as gifts to someone special.
* The round buttons - 3 with a pin back, 4 with a magnetic back, and 2 keychains - are also a nice item to make and share. The pictures, words, sayings put in the buttons are for the imagination of the child. It might be a photograph cut to size, a drawing, or a saying to support their favorite cause. Something like, "Here Comes the Ice Cream Truck".
* The modeling dough in 4 colors can be used and re-used to create anything from worms to castles, trucks, or hills.
* There is a packet of brushes in all sizes and types because they are just fun to have and I find little ones sometimes need a spare.
* The Watercolor paints can be used with the buttons, sketchbook, or paper of your choice for beautiful landscapes, portraits, or modern art.

The options for creating with this box of materials has no end. Imagination can be the guide.
