When kids start sporting tank tops and shorts because of the summer heat, there is suddenly more room for necklaces, bracelets, and, oh yes!, anklets. There’s something about the hot months that make children want to decorate their arm to their elbow in friendship bracelets of every color. We’re all for it because the summer jewelry trend is surprisingly budget-friendly. Even two arms, two legs, and a neck full of kids’ summer jewelry won’t empty the piggy bank. While classic friendship bracelets are a must-have, alternate them with a few of these more creative kids’ summer crafts.
