easy wood projects
Are you looking for something inexpensive and fun to brighten up a rainy day? Crafts can be the answer! Craft projects can be great fun for the whole family as well as an excellent way to bond with your kids. Craft projects help encourage kids to use their imagination and creativity.
There are many things you can do as a fun family craft project. The ages of your kids and what types of materials you have on hand can help you choose. Even if you dont have many supplies laying around, if you have kids you probably have paper, crayons and some other odds and ends at minimum. Even these basic supplies can be the foundation for a fun afternoon of craft projects.
Some craft projects can be downright messy. Its always a good idea to lay some newspaper over the table before starting anything that might require an extensive cleanup. Smocks are great to have to protect clothing, but if you dont have any handy one of Dads old tee shirts will do just fine.
What to Make?
There are so many great kids crafts to do that it might be hard to decide what to make! The internet is a wealth of information on kids crafts. You can even find sites that list step by step instructions for kids craft projects, many with pictures to follow. When you find projects that you like, you can print them out for easy reference.
Some crafts are simple, yet kids really have a ball with them. My kids favorite crafts all involve colored piple cleaners. They are simple, but the kids really enjoy twisting them together and making pipe cleaner sculptures and cat toys out of them. We also keep a nice supply of "googly eyes" that you can find at any craft store, those make nice eyes for the pipe cleaner people.
Painting crafts are a staple and good fun for everyone. You can paint almost anything made out of wood or ceramic and with just a few simple supplies, you can create fun and functional works of art. Painted picture frames, ornaments and keepsake boxes are easy for older kids to do and with a little help can be made as gifts.
Fabric paint is another painting craft thats fun for the whole family. Get some fabric paint and plain white tee shirts. Have everyone make a hand print on the teeshirts with the fabric paint and decorate however youd like. These family hand print tee-shirts are wearable art that you will cherish forever.
With just a little bit of imagination and some basic craft supplies, craft time with the family can be a bonding experience thats fun for everyone.
