make some funky bunky kool aid.
Cost $.25 per packet
Quiet very one person job.
Need? Sugar water kool- aid packet pitcher
Idea a yummy drink
Rub follow the directions on the packet of kool aid make them a frozen treat by freezing them in ice pack thingys
Benefits a cheap yummy drink
Rating 6 lasts a while but it is usually a one person job (tell the little kids “waching is helping!”)
Extras,
*Use two packets per 1/2 gallon use different flavors to combine them. Orange-Grape is a fav.
*Use 7up as the 1/2 gallon and just add a packet to it to make some punch.
*Freeze them into ice cubs to add to drinks.
*Make super concentrated. 2/3 cup sugar, packet, 1/4 cup water. Add bit to blender and Ice to makes frozen slushies.
The sky is the limit with these fun summer drinks and it costs you nothing.

Just draw it. or color or paint.
From LisaAndStevesTheMove
Yeah, go get a bunch of paper that is left over from work, Pick up some water colors and paint. Yeah, the kids love this. What you mgiht find surprising is that you will love this as well. This is seriously fun. Yeah I am not good at this stuff. I am horrible even. I might be a fairly decent photographer, but I can't draw a straight line at all. Yet my kids think I am picaso. They love for me to sit down at the table and just get creative. It is really interesting that a blank sheet of paper is the most refreshing and daunting thing a person can look at. Yet look at it as your kids do. They see it as a challenge and try to fill the paper up completely with as much "stuff" as they can. It is soo much fun to watch them paint and just create. And to join in and to be complemented by them and to give them complements. This is all about building up each other. They build you and you build them. Remember that. Very important that part. That is part of the magic of being a Dad. Everything you say means so so much to your children. So make sure you say good things.

Cooking with kids - "homemade" Cookies
From July2010AtFarm
Cookies
Cost: $5 for a tube of cookies. No we aren’t making these things from scratch.
Need?: an oven and a tube of cookies and something to cook them on.
Recipe: grab a tube and read the directions.
Rub: there really isn’t anything unusual about this. You get good tasting cookies. But you don’t have to do any work. No they won’t taste perfect but they will taste better than purchased.
