Free activities: take them to the library, they have all sorts of free programs for kids. They can also borrow books, fairly new released dvds, and cds. Park, school playground. Water balloon toss. Pool, or sprinkler would be cool. Make their own snack, like trail mix. Pizza bagels. Usually AMC or Regal Cinemas offer free movie for kids and parents at 10 am once a week. Check out their website for more info. Bike riding, play follow the leader on bikes. Volunteer you and the child's time at local retirement homes, etc. to set a good example. Free local museums, zoo. Crafts: make a summer scrapbook together, Make pinuatas. You'll need newpaper, balloon for shape, and plaster of paris, paints. Blow balloon up. Make a paste of plaster of paris, tear newspaper into strips, and adhere, let dry overnight. Leave a opening to fill with candy, and to pop balloon. When dry, paint. When dry, decorate and add candy! Grab a branch and have fun! Make placemats out of construction paper, and laminate. You can cut pics out of magazines, or add beads/sequins, pics of family and friends. Make colored sand. Use salt or granulated sugar, baby food jar/ or other small jar. Colored chalk. On newspaper or paper bag, dump salt/sugar on table take a colored chalk stick and glide over sugar until desired colored is achieved. Place in jar, do the next color. Until jar is full. Cute. Also, check out stores like Home Depot, Lowes, or A.C. Moore(craft store) they offer free make it and take it classes for kids. Barnes and Nobles also should have free programs available also. Have fun! I hope this helped you.

Pool games are great if the parents will let him swim with you! I never tired of treasure hunting for things on the bottom of the pool! Can you go on a walk around the neighborhood I am sure the dogs would love that! As far as crafts etc, go online and find stuff together that sounds good. You can do allot with just a little if you are creative. Start on some Christmas gifts, do a summer scrapbook. Their are tons of ideas out there, you just have to put some work into finding what both of you will enjoy!

Buy cheap T-shirts and turn them into other things. Get a classic paint by numbers set - they are GREAT! Learn how to buy a stock of something the kid loves, like McDonald's for instance.
Learn a graphics program on the computer. Or do the speed typing course. Copy pages from the dictionary. Make your own play-dough and sell it to littler kids. Figure out how to fix a leaky faucet. Learn to play guitar. Learn all the flags in the world and write a letter to someone in each country! Grow radishes or tomatoes. Learn to cook and bake. Learn to sew, quilt, crochet, tat, or knit. Get all the holiday shopping done now. Write a letter to yourself to open in ten years. Talk about what you like now and what you are dreaming of. Organize all the music you have. Volunteer to help at a Day camp, Nursery School, Old Age home, hospital. If you can read, you can help. And I could go on and on.
