I’m so happy to present you with this amazing list of 40 Summer Art Ideas for Kids! It hit me as I was scrolling through my Art Bar Pinterest page that I have accumulated quite a big bunch of summer art projects through all of my camps. I thought of writing another ebook, but then decided to pull them all together in a blog post instead. And I made the graphics very Pinterest-esque, just for fun.
Some of these projects are more crafty and involve steps – perfect for older kids (and adults). But most are easily adaptable to all ages. In fact, I have lots of four and five-year olds in my camps and they have done almost all of these projects!
