Do your kids love crafts? Do you love doing crafts with your kids? It can be so much fun to sit around the worktable together making stuff, even making a mess can be fun when the kids are learning new skills and having a great time doing it.
Some kids just get the urge to do stuff others may need a little coaxing but once they get started they just have a whale of a time. So what sort of crafts can you do with the kids at home? For the little ones simple crafts like hand printing can be really good fun, as they actually get told to put paint on their hands or even their feet!
Potato printing is a good old fashioned craft, the younger kids can just enjoy the printing after Mom or Dad has carved the potato for them while the older ones can also have the pleasure of carving their own potato for printing.
Pasta can be used for crafts too! There are so many interesting shapes in pasta, you can paint the individual pieces or cover them with glitter and then glue or string them together to make necklaces, bracelets, tiaras. Or you can stick the pieces around old picture frames. Alternatively you can be pre cut card mounts from a framer or art/craft shop and decorate those.
How about French knitting or spool knitting, in the old days of course we used wooden thread spools with 4 brads or pins hammered in one end. Now of course wooden spools may not be so easy to find, you may have to actually buy a ready made knitting spool from a craft shop. But its great fun to watch the knitting appear from the bottom of the spool.
For the older kids you may want to help them learn something which requires a little more dexterity like macramé. I know its possible to make very elaborate wall hangings and such with macrame but its also possible with some good old fashioned string or twine and a few simple flat knots to make very attractive hangers for plant pots, or even a gold fish bowl. If you get some leather thong then the girls in particular can make pretty bracelets or chokers.
Theres a whole world of possibilities, if you want tons more craft ideas for your kids go to Crafts For Kids
