#25 Play with Sidewalk Chalk
Chalk is cheap (see what I did there). Leave a kid with a box of chalk and watch the craziness unfold. What might start off with a quick drawing and game of hopscotch might turn out to be the most hippie sidewalk in history. Have some spare chalk handy in case any of the local kids want to join in too. Chalk on the street will only last as long as it stays dry, so check the forecast before starting.
If you want to drag your kids away from the TV, this might be a good place to start. It’s a fun, creative, inexpensive activity that can help keep the kids busy and out of their parents hair for hours. Remember to take care if your kids are doing it near the street.
