Children love to make things so why not introduce some kids craft ideas using modelling. You can use different types of materials from home made salt dough to shop bought clay depending on the age and interest of your child. For a toddler making things with salt dough will keep him amused for hours and at the end of the session you can throw his little creations out. You can find recipes for salt dough on the internet and so long as you use food colourings, it wont matter if your little one tries tasting his creations.
Kids craft ideas for older children get a little more complicated. They tend to expect you to keep their works of art and display them. For this reason you may want to use shop bought materials such oven hardening modelling material. This is suitable for use in making small beads and jewelry pieces right through to larger ornaments including candlesticks. You can buy the modelling clay in a variety of colors which saves on painting but you may want to buy special paint for specific features. You can also use varnish to make the piece water resistant if your child was making a flower vase for example. If you want to make your own Christmas crib figures you can buy a flesh toned version which can then be painted in suitable colours.
You can bake this modelling clay in your own oven and it tends to retain its colour although it may go a little darker and its size. Always follow the manufacturers instructions on how long to leave it in the oven etc. Dont start painting them or using varnish until they have completely cooled. Just be warned as the children can get addicted to making things and you may soon wonder why you introduced them to these kids craft ideas.
