Bird houses

 

We took advantage of a great deal at JoAnn craft store and bought these cute little wooden birdhouses for only $1 each! We just used the paint we already had at home. Now the boys are excited to hang them out on the trees as soon as the storms pass.  

Construction vehicle pretend play

Here is a fun and easy idea boys and girls would love. Just set up a box/planter or just a rocky or dirt area in your backyard and bring out the construction vehicles. We bought several of these at the dollar store. Gather a few large rocks, pebbles and even some sticks for the kids to play.
