Most areas now have a lake with a public swimming beach these days and they are usually pretty inexpensive. Buy some inexpensive prizes for the winners, or just hold a winner’s ceremony for the carnival’s conclusion. What inexpensive things do you do with your kids or grand-kids over the summer to build memories?

You may know that each year, for my two Grandchildren, I hold a camp I call Grandma Rie’s Money Camp. Pretty inexpensive! For the past few years, the kids have had a one time ‘business’ during camp. They usually opt to sell drinks and snacks (which they purchase and mark up) at the lake.

The paper is pretty inexpensive at around $3 a roll. I demonstrate making these things to my children and grandchildren, though, just to show that it can be done. The lacquer is around $15 a quart and we are now into it for about 2 gallons and not done yet. The wide tape to protect the glass is at least $8 a roll.

As it turns out, the ingredients are pretty inexpensive and the instructions pretty simple. How do you teach your children and grandchildren the benefits of giving? Our local Walmart also had a cheaper version of a stepping stone kit. I looked over these kits pretty carefully to see what was in them and what the directions were.
