Do your kids love crafts? There is nothing that beats getting creative with inexpensive craft supplies and stuff that you probably already have around the house.

Like tissue paper, plastic bottles, ribbons, and random buttons.

Get Creative With The Crafts

As many of you know one of the best ways to keep your kids entertained is to get a bit messy and start painting, gluing, sticking, and experimenting!

Develop your kid’s crafty skills with these fun ideas for making, spark their imagination and let the creative vibes flow.

I have started to look after my cousin’s children recently and have found that they love to craft – from painting animals, to making jewelry and of course slime!

5. Glue Resist Drawings

This is a cool art technique that you can use PVA glue with or crayons.

The medium creates a resist, so when painted over, you can still clearly see the lines.

Budding artists will love this artwork!

6. DIY Paper Lanterns

Paper lanterns are fun to make and hang around the house!

I remember making them when I was a kid with my mom and they were fun to do.

By using brightly colored papers your kids will make a pretty accessory that could even be hung in your backyard! (watch out for that rain you guys!)

7. DIY Toilet Roll Octopus

Probably my favorite craft on this list, is the toilet roll octopus!

These could also be used for young children to write stories about.

So don’t throw away your cardboard tubes and get some googly eyes, acrylic paint, and scissors.
