Arts and
Crafts ideas for the little ones in your life
Few children are immune to the
excitement glue,
paint and glitter bring. Why not capitalize on that joy by bringing
your arts
and crafts ideas into the home. There is no need to wait for a birthday
or
other special occasion to bring out the arts and crafts, you can do it
any day.
Friday Evening
No need to rush out to a crowded pizza emporium.
Order in
and pull out the craft box. Kids love the opportunity to put their
hands into
their very own homemade play dough. There are a couple of quick and
easy
recipes. Let the children choose the colors and watch their imagination
take
shape.
Saturday afternoon
Is it another rainy day? Introduce some sunshine
with arts
and crafts fun. Why not unroll yards of butcher paper and let the
little ones
unleash their creativity with washable paint? Children especially enjoy
making
life-sized cut outs of themselves. Other rainy day arts and crafts
ideas
include collages. Save old magazines that children can use to cut out
appealing
pictures. Have them glue their pictures onto a piece of construction
paper or
poster board.
Spring break
Get the construction paper, scissors, paint and
other arts
and crafts supplies to create your own spring scenes. Children may
enjoy using
cutouts to create Easter decorations or even a colorful spring garden.
Winter holidays
Paint unfinished wooden decorations to create
personalized
holiday ornaments.
After school
Let children use construction paper or small
pieces of wood
to make signs for their bedroom doors or to announce a homework space.
It is a good idea to keep arts and crafts supplies
on hand
such as:
Scissors
Glue or glue sticks
Washable paint and brushes
Popsicle sticks and pipe cleaners
Smocks or old t-shirts
Construction and/or butcher paper
Glitter and pipe cleaners
Cotton balls
Markers, crayons and coloring books
Food coloring
With a supply of arts and crafts on hand you can
take
advantage of impromptu creativity encounters. Many children love
specialized
kids programming such as that available on public television networks,
Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel; check out their companion website
for arts
and crafts ideas. This can be a nice way to spark some of the
creativity that
is often dimmed by TV viewing.
Arts and crafts are not just about projects,
although that
is important; but they are also about the experience and opportunity to
create
something uniquely personal with basic items.
What a wonderful way to put children in touch with their
personal power
and ability. Keep arts and crafts around your home and watch creativity
and
confidence soar.
