Most schools have let out for the summer or are about to finish, so you might be on the hunt for some activities to help keep your kids not only entertained but also help keep their minds engaged as well. My kids and I love doing craft & activity kits together, it helps occupy days when we might not have as much going on. Depending on what kind of kit you get, it can also be educational. Over the last few years I have worked along side Horizon Group USA reviewing some of the kits they sell across their various lines & I wanted to put together a list of our top ten favorites for you to check out this summer.
