The internet is full of crafts for kids. Search “easy crafts for kids” on Pinterest and you’ll end up with hundreds or even thousands of pins. Many of them are fantastic ideas! I have several boards dedicated to different crafty things. I’ll bet if you’re here, you do to! But how many of them have you actually done? Um…ten? Two? …zero…? Yeah…me too. So, when I ran across the 31 Day blogging challenge, I decided to take this opportunity DO some of those crafts with my kids and blog about them!
Not only will I be reporting what craft we’ve done, I’ll also be making these crafts easier for YOU to do with your kids! In each post, you’ll find information to make doing these crafts with your own kids even easier! Written clear and concise, you’ll find the following:
- Supply list
- Preparation instructions
- Preparation time
- Project time
- Project cost (Written as a number of dollar signs. $=cheap, $$=more than what you just have at home, $$$=you’ll probably need to buy a lot for the project)
- Amount of parental involvement
- Step by step instructions
My hope is that throughout these 31 days, I’ll have a great time with my kids and YOU will be encouraged to get crafty with yours! Come back each day to see the newest post!
