Back to school time may be here for your family, or else it is fast approaching.
And while summer is winding down, there is still plenty of warm weather ahead, making it hard for kids to make the back to school transition.
Either way, an end of summer celebration is a great way to give the kids a concrete way to say goodbye for another year – and give them a little more summer fun to look forward to.
County fairs and carnivals go hand-in-hand with summertime, so why not make your own? These fun ideas are all easy and inexpensive and the best part is, the kids can do most of the work themselves.
Of course, a carnival has to have games, and here are a few of our favorites that can all be made with items you have on hand at home or a quick trip to your local dollar store.
And while you’re there, pick up some small items to use as prizes – sidewalk chalk, pencils, stickers, and small bouncy balls come in multi-packs, and the kids love them.
