Staying Cool

Try Ice Cube Painting

Try your hand at ice cube painting to keep the summer heat from ruining your family's pleasure this season! It's a simple pastime that requires no preparation or outside supplies, so your money will go further toward keeping your family cool and entertained. Fill a few ice cube trays with water and various food coloring possibilities of your choice. Engage the family in choosing and blending their own color possibilities for the ice cube areas. After the ice cubes have solidified, have fun painting paper and other items of your choice with the various colored ice cubes.

Eco-Friendly Ways to Stay Refreshed

Plan a Family Spa Day

Set up a family spa day while it's sweltering outside for a calming activity. Enjoy a deep cleanse and relaxation with cucumber slices for your eyes and robes for everybody, or get creative with different possibilities. For another low-cost activity, you may prepare an easy DIY face mask using a variety of natural ingredients you most likely already have on hand as a summer eco-friendly tip.
