With summer time coming up and the weather looking so beautiful outside, I can't wait to spend time in the backyard with my kids. I've discovered a new fun and easy way to keep them entertained for hours with Dollar Store supplies! Buy a cheap shower curtain, hang it up, and let them go crazy with washable paint. The clean up is part of the fun! They love sponging away their art and starting over. If you're looking for boredom busters this spring and summer, try this outdoor art activity!
