| Too HOT To
Play Outside? Summer temps are soaring, making outside playtime less appealing. Luckily, the Creativity for Kids line includes dozens of hands-on arts, crafts, and pop-culture kits that appeal to a variety of interests and skill levels. Stock up on the kits the next time you're out shopping and you won't have to resort to an all-day video-fest the next time it's too hot to play outside. For example, the lively Bug Thermometer kit can add pizzazz to thermometer reading, even when it's 95 degrees every day! To assemble the thermometer, kids paint a wood and wire butterfly thermometer that attaches to the window. The kit, which received a Parents' Choice Award, includes the paint, varnish and brush, so all you need to supply is a painting surface and, unless you are particularly brave, a smock.
