[DIY] 90+ Easy Summer Kids Crafts using household items

This paper umbrella can also be used as a nice dining table decor (as long as your kids won't put them in your drinks) if you are throwing parties for your kids.  I personally love those - they are the ultimate patience booster for my kids.

Start by preparing multiple colored papers. You can ask your kids to choose their favorite colors.

Cut them into smaller circles and fold them into semicircles. Let your kids apply many pieces of double-sided adhesive tape to all the semicircles they have created.

Repeat the previous step and fold the semicircle in half.

Now, it's time to make the umbrella handle. Tightly roll a piece of paper into a stick and fold it to make a curvy end - just like the real umbrella handle. 

Then bond all the quarter-circles together.to make the canopy.

Adjust the canopy and cut off the redundant part.

This is a great craft for kids that improves hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. 

If you are looking for other products that enhance the core hands-on ability, I strongly recommend you to try this kids pretend play vacuum set! 

I know it is kinda unrelated to the paper crafts, but trust me, they serve the same purpose! The best thing is that you can train your kids to become your little helpers who love to clean house for you (safety first!) 

I am sure that nobody can resist the fluffy cotton candy lollipop. I am a grown up and still long for cotton candy lollipops (it has to be cotton candy styled). If your mom usually doesn't allow you to have one, well, these can be your spiritual lollipops to have.
