Easy & Cheap Backyard Summer Fun from the Frugal Family

We practically live in our backyard all summer long. I love finding new activities to keep the boys entertained out there, and the great thing about summer is that there's so much to choose from that is inexpensive and fun! Our Frugal Family features this week are all about having fun outside without breaking the bank.

This Week's Features

Playground Parkbench showed us how to make Billions of Bubbles, including a DIY bubble recipe!

There's Just One Mommy shared 20 Ways to Stay Cool with Ice. What could be easier or cheaper than ice? And so fun on a hot day.

Study at Home Mama gave us Fizzy Dough Cupcakes, a super fun and messy activity that is perfect for outside!
