The start of summer means relief from the cold weather and if you are a student, then a break from studying. While the summer time is something that we all look forward to, if you are working parent who has no vacation time coming up, then you will want to have ideas to keep others at you place like your kids occupied. This means encouraging them to take up hobbies like an amazing hobby of painted feathers, which could work if your kids are so inclined.
