Quick and Simple Boredom Buster for Kids

Hi friend.  It's almost August. Are you running out of ways to entertain the kids?  The Internet is full of great ideas, but I'm always looking for the ones that can be done instantly without a lot of prep work or running out to buy supplies. I saw the Ocean Salt Pictures project on the Thrifty Decorating blog and knew we had to try it.  The original idea came from Smilemonsters with very simple supplies: salt, food coloring and glue. Thanks to these two creative bloggers, we had a fun afternoon with salt art!
