12 Summer Birthday Party Activities for Kids

DIY Slip and Slide

Another great addition for your "summer water fun" file, this homemade slip and slide featured on Inner Child Fun is a great idea for throwing a neat summer birthday bash on a budget — with plenty of water fun for all!

To create their DIY water slide, Mom Valerie says that they used a long, heavy-duty contractor drop cloth, a couple of buckets of water, and some U-shaped garden stakes to keep it all in place. It's no surprise that this quick and easy water slide was a huge splash for Valerie's daughter — and we're sure your gaggle of party guests would be delighted as well!
