When summer comes I can barely drag my kids inside for anything. They want to be outside constantly. I always stock up on sidewalk chalk in the summer because we love drawing and playing games outside with it. The fun thing about sidewalk chalk games is that you can make them fun and educational. This is a great way to sneak in a little extra summer learning with your kids.
