Fun Craft Ideas For Kids
I'm not a neat freak but with two little kids, I basically never want them to do any kind of crafts. But kids just LOVE to be creative and as a parent, we should really promote them being as creative as they can be. It's in those moments they grow with their imaginations and their knowledge.
Plus, who didn't love making photos with macaroni!
In an effort to find mess free crafts for my children, I decided to share in the wealth!
5 Crafts to keep those kiddos busy and your home less messy!
STRING ART!
I used to love this but it's for kids who are at least 8 & up. Come on you made the string art star too...no? ok well I guess your going to hang out with your kid today and make some string art. No it's fun... JUST GO DO IT! Your welcome ; )
2. Aqua Doodle Mat
These things are amazing! Your kid colors to their hearts content and it will only show up on this mat. So no mess and they are happy for a while in one spot. Let them craft by drawing up a storm!
3. Popsicle Stick Snowflakes!
Minimal mess for this one. You just get popsicle sticks and glitter glue and then let them "color" it with the glue and glue the pieces together. Cute snowflakes you can use to decorate for Christmas. And I'm pretty sure you can get Popsicle sticks everywhere.
4. Paper Plate Animals or really anything they want to make with them.
Another one with minimal mess, you can give them anything you know wont be super messy like cotton balls and glitter glue with some popsicle sticks, and shoot add in some stickers! Basically just Let them have at it on a blanket. Or outside...I love plopping my son outside to do his crafts.
5. SideWalk Chalk
Don't lie, you were secretly hoping this was on the list. And your childhood memories were confirmed. This is still awesome. These kids can seriously color like it's a world of paper or the sidewalk is paper at least.
Then you grab a hose and it's clean. I feel like this is a win win for everyone. Take those kiddos out to the park and let them do it there if you don't have access to a regular side walk. Bring some water with you and problem solved for all of the "Karen's" who will probably yell at you for letting your kids have fun. The Horror!
