woodworking projects for kids
With easy crafts for kids you want to keep your toddlers busy but not have it cost a fortune. Well with these easy crafts your kids can do them for hardly anything or even completely free. So take a look below at some of these simple to do kids crafts.
Rock painting for kids
A real simple old fashioned craft for kids to enjoy. Why not on your next walk in the country or even just around the neighborhood. Keep a look out for some medium size stones or pebbles. Collect these up and take them home. Then outside lay the rocks out and get a bucket of water and a small brush. Then get your kids to clean them up and lay them out to dry.
Then later your toddlers can use kids acrylic paints to paint some designs on them. They could simply put spots on them or even suggest they do one with stripes and a few spots. This craft activity with the walk and the cleaning. Then the painting could occupy them for a good part of the day.
Make a collage picture
Now this a really simple one for a child of any age. Save a breakfast cereal packet. Then cut out one side of the box and use it gray side up for the base of the collage. Next collect together all sorts of odd and ends. Old magazines that can have pictures cut out. Bits of ribbons, old buttons. Bits of cotton wool odd bits of fabric, basically anything that is not too heavy.
Then place all your items onto the table around your collage base. Then give you toddler glue stick(the kind that winds up like a lipstick). Then tell them to do some cutting and sticking (let them use child friendly scissors). You may need to help them cut things like the fabric. There you have it a really great way for your little one to be really creative. also to work on their motor skills using the glue stick and scissors.
Paper plate faces
Most of us with kids have paper plates at home from parties of one kind or another. So give a plate to your toddler and ask them to make it in to a face of someone they know. We have used pipe cleaners and different size buttons and some old ribbon amongst other things to make the eyes, nose, mouth and ears. You can also use knitting wool to create the hair. Anything can be used as long as it will stick. So why not give this a try and see how much your little one enjoys making a paper face.
Important Point
With all toddler crafts you must supervise at all times. One to stop them sticking glue everywhere. Far more importantly to stop them putting small items into their mouths and swallowing. This could very easily lead to your child choking. So only get involved with craft activities with very young children when you have the time to watch over them. They will also want you to share this kind of activity with anyway.
