I used to bring my daughter to craft store where they had lessons for kids in arts and crafts. Also she has done those kinds of things through town programs. I would be a little creeped out bringing her around strangers. Too many weirdos nowadays. JMO.

Crafts for kids to do in the summer
Hi. I used to teach preschool and pre K children. I used to go to the college bookstores and buy bags of pottery clay and have my kids make coil pots, slab pots, bowls, cups, etc. They would spend hours doing this. You can even buy glazes and let them dry in the sun or go have them kiln fired. Also the Palmer clay and a teaching book from one of the clay companies from the library or book store showing kids what kinds of beads to make. An old pasta machine really helps to roll it out and mix the different colors. My daughter made some beautiful beads and crafts and spent hours with her friends.
They used to love doing collages. You can have them cut pictures out of fun children's or sports or fashion magazines and use glue to attach. Also make nature collages outside. First have them gather as many nature items as possible such as pine cones, leaves, insects, feathers, etc. Give them big poster boards. They also like to make creations out of fruits such as apples, bananas, oranges, etc. Give them marshmallows, raisins, cereals, tooth picks etc. and have them go to it making strange creatures, people, monsters, etc. Puppet making is fun too.
