Ice
Make masterpieces with colored ice
Ice is a versatile material that can provide endless hours of fun for kids.

Grab some colored ice and show your kids how to paint with them on a piece of paper or canvas and let them create cool masterpieces all day long.
Pool party
Have an indoor pool party
A pool party is a great way to cool down and have fun with your kids.
If you don't have a pool, no worries! You can set up an indoor pool with decorations, music, and pool-themed snacks.
Don't forget to have towels and dry clothes handy, and set up some pool games like sharks and minnows or water volleyball.
Balloon fun
Play the balloon splashing game
Water balloons can be a fun way to play with your kids and cool off. But it is important to be safe while having fun.
Find a clear and open area to play in and away from anything that could break.
Fill balloons with the right amount of water and make sure they are tied securely.
Then, get ready for some splashing action.
Educational game
Play the sink and float game
Looking for some educational fun? Try playing the sink or float game!
All you need is some waterproof objects, a container filled with cool water, and some curious minds.
Have your children predict whether the objects will sink or float and then toss them in to see what happens.
They will have a blast while learning about the basic concepts of buoyancy.
Science experiment
Freeze water and oil
Keep your kids entertained and educated with a fascinating science experiment - freezing water and oil.
Create some ice cubes with vegetable oil and food coloring, and observe how the oil and water separate as the cubes melt.
This activity is a fun way to teach kids about the properties of liquids while keeping them engaged and entertained on a hot summer day.
