The 4th summer camp idea to entertain kids is water play.
-Give them a bowl of water and a paintbrush. Let them paint the sidewalk or driveway.
-Give them a bigger brush and let them paint the house with water.
-Play in the rain. The neighborhood kids enjoyed playing in the rain earlier this week.
-Which freezes faster experiment : tap water vs salt water?
-Will it float or sink experiment: line up different items on the table. Have your child guess if the item will float or sink and carry out the experiment. Items you can use feathers, paper clips, grapes, crayon, nail, etc.
-Disappearing water experiment. After a rain draw a line around a puddle. Go out and recheck the spot later in the day and see what happened. Teach them about evaporation.
-Get out the sprinkler and let them run through.
-Sprinkler red light green light: Have kids run around the sprinkler playing the game red light green light. When it's a red light they have to freeze and get wet.
-In a small wading pool or a bucket have child try and pick up ice cubes with their toes.
Feel free to add any things you can do with your kids with a water theme.
