Summer is reunion time in my family -- but how do you keep everyone from the littlest kid to the kid at heart entertained and engaged during a long day of catching up? The answer: simple crafts and delicious cake. Who can resist!

If the idea of corralling kids of all ages to do a craft makes you want to crawl under the table and stay there all day, don't worry!

We've got craft suggestions that don't require any adult assistance, thanks to Glue Dots® no-mess adhesives.

Worried that the teens won't want to craft with the little kids? We have a project for them, too. And for the grown ups, we have a beautiful centerpiece that is unique to your family -- because it's a project you will create together.

The best part of these decorations and crafts though, is that they require little legwork -- you'll need rocks and sticks, which you can find on a walk through the neighborhood.

Take some time to stretch your legs and then settle in for an afternoon of creating memories. And then head home for a slice of cake and a lot of talk.
