Kits for Arts & Crafts Projects for Kids
Hi! I’m Debbie with Expert Village.com and I am here to talk about some more crafts you can do with your young child. If you don’t want to mess with finding things at your house you could go to a crafts store and find a wide variety of things that you could do with your child fairly inexpensive. They are really, really good fine motor eye-hand coordination type activities that produce something precious that your child is really proud of and fairly low maintenance for you. Some ideas, just some really quick little things from a crafts store; get a little Halloween mummy, comes with all the pieces, all you need is glue to put it together, a cute activity. Here are some fun shapes; little beads, little tubular beads to make a design on these little grids. Really, really excellent fine motor skills. It takes a lot of control to be able to put those little beads on there and you will find your child is very determined to get that finished. Here are some of your basic pipe cleaners, and puffball art, little activities. This one happens to be funky fish. There are others to make insects, really cute, and all you need is some glue, some creativity. We have some really neat little painting activities. They give you the little plastic shape and give you paints, and you paint fill in the blanks, and you have a pretty little sun catcher to put in your window. What I like about this is basically everything you need is in the package. Here is another little sun catcher activity, little frogs. You sprinkle a little crystals in and then you bake it for a while. This one would require some grownup supervision, but still really fun, cute to hang in the windows. And here is more little fun, very inexpensive, $2, little stringing necklaces with the foam, the strings in there, the foam shapes are there, some fun things to do, low maintenance, and cute.
