Keeping them busy all summer long with fun kids' games and crafts

Summer break starts in two weeks down here in Atlanta (yes, two weeks!), so I'm already stocking up on cool kids' games and activities to keep my kids occupied.

 

My go-to stop on the web: mom-owned Cattiwampus, where I always find a few keepers I know my kids (and yours) will love. Like this Janod Memofrutti game. My kids are already big memory game fans, but this one has a unique twist I know they've never experienced: each piece is scented!

 

For my older kids, I'm picking up these awesome Magnetibook sets, complete with 200 magnets and cool cards for them to create different stories and scenes. Just keep this out of the reach of your little ones.

And the eeBoo Waste-Not Kits we saw at the New York Intenational Gift Show are finally available! Each fun kit uses a recyclable object from your home to complete the craft.

Stave off summer boredom with cool kids' games and activities kits at Cattiwampus.
