Living in this heat forces you to be creative when it comes to entertaining your kids during the summer. Going anywhere with all 3 kids (especially Maddox) is always an adventure, and not necessarily a good one, so I spent weeks researching ideas of ways to keep my kids entertained. I liked this idea and kind of went with it and decided to do a different letter each week with lots of activities starting with that letter. So far the kids have loved it and hopefully I don't get burned out before summer is over.
This week..........S
Scavenger hunt
Scavenger hunt
Silly putty
(a favorite, we've made it several times since--1/4 C Elmer's glue, 1/8 C "Sta Flo" liquid starch, food coloring)
Stories under the Stars with Smores
Shaving cream art
the great wall of China
a rejuvinating skin treatment
Stick creations (hot glue worked much better than Elmer's) 
Science experiments (the library has tons of great books for kid friendly experiments, here they are testing out different parachutes they made)
