27 Easy Crafts for Kids to Do at Home
Rain or shine, these crafts will keep your kiddos busy for hours.
Whether it's summer break and you need an activity to keep the little one busy, you have a kiddo at home that's not feeling so great and is in need of some entertainment, or it's raining cats and dogs outside and the littles are allergic, these fun and sweet projects for kids are guaranteed to keep them entertained, happy, and away from the tv (for a little while at least)! There are projects here that will help with their fine-motor skills like the Stitched Paper Cards and Stitched Embroidery Hoops and ones that are just downright fun to make such as Paper Roll Dragon Craft and Clothespin Dragonflies.
If there is something to celebrate, we have plenty of ideas the kids can make for DIY gifts for grandmas or Father's Day gifts. They'll appreciate that the kids spent time making them something heartfelt and sentimental. Don't be surprised if they end up on the refrigerator or mantel! And during the summer months it can keep little hands entertained while you go about your life and do the things you need to do! If you're looking for something useful, try the grilling apron, picnic blanket, or bandana-covered pots. Younger kids may need a bit of help and supervision, especially when hot glue guns or sharp scissors are involved. But there are options here for all ages and abilities, so don't be intimidated by the skill level. Let the kids imaginations run wild and you are sure to love what they come up with!
