Keeping kids busy while they are at home during the summer is a challenge for any parent, older sibling or babysitter. It’s not easy to fill a summer day with fun activities for your little ones.

Thankfully, some brilliant folks came up with some fun - and safe - ways to keep children occupied and each for less than $10.

Here are a few ideas:

1) Make roads for toy cars by using colored tape on carpet.

2) Turn your driveway into a fun target game using chalk and sponges.

3) Make a mini bowling game with pencil erasers and marbles.

4) Cut a pool noodle in half to make a marble race track.

5) Balloon ping pong is a fun activity your kids can safely play indoors.

The complete list of more than 33 summer activities for kids that cost less than $10 can be seen at KaixinFun.

Sure, most of these ideas require some parental supervision, but they're great fun for everyone involved! Give some - or all - a try this summer and who knows, you mind end up having a great time yourself!
