Why not decorate dinner plates as a fun kids summer craft. These are a great way to spend some quality time together during summer holidays. Crafting is a great bonding experience.
Summer is also a great time for get togethers and picnics. Why not make some themed dinnerware out of plain paper plates, cups and napkin rings.
Save on doing the dishes and looks great! You can even use them for a BBQ. It is a good way to keep the children busy while you prep salads and get the meat organized.
