Things to Make and Do, Crafts and Activities for Kids - The Crafty Crow

Tissue Paper Stained Glass Mobile

Colorful cellophane on clear transparency makes such
a pretty mobile and kids will love exploring
layers of color. Found at Pasándolo Pipa.

Washi Tape Easter Egg Garland

I love this colorful Easter egg garland made with washi
tape and the pompom and paper straw details. Visit
Art Bar for the directions and some other variations 
using watercolors and pretty paper.

Crafts With A Free Bunny Printable

My Poppet has an adorable free bunny printable that can be 
used in several ways: string it to make a garland, 


decorate a takeout box to make a a cute treat bag, 


or use it to make napkin rings for Easter breakfast or brunch.

Colorful Valentine L-O-V-E Garland

I love the bright colors in this Valentine Garland DIY at
Small for Big. This can be a real family project since
there are several different steps in creating it. 

Sticky Heart Garland

Sparkly and pretty - this sticky paper heart garland at Family
Your Way is the perfect way to start decorating for Valentine's Day. 

Melted Wax Snowflakes Kids Craft

With only wax paper and crayons, you can make these pretty
melted wax snowflakes found at Dilly-Dali Art. The glitter on
the edges adds a nice sparkle when they are hung in the window.

Melted Bead Crafts for Kids

The Artful Parent has a great post that includes photos and
tips of all of their melted bead experiments. At the bottom of
her post are links to basic instructions and more. These are
made with melted pony-type beads, not melty (Perler, Hama)
beads. I think the main concern is the odor and toxicity of
the melted beads but this is addressed in her posts along
with the recommendation to melt them in a toaster oven
outside. I love them all but I think these
free-form spirals are my favorite!

Scented Sun Catchers

Besides being pretty, these crayon sun catchers are
scented too! Tutorial details at Crafting Connections.

Cardboard Bird Mobile Tutorial

You'll just need basic craft supplies to make
this sweet bird mobile at Feathered Nest.

Glue Art Sun Catchers

Babble Dabble Do shares a wonderful project for brightening
up a winter day with this tutorial to make a sun catcher from
glue and food coloring. This is a great project for groups
of different aged kids to do together.

Recycled Water Bottle Poinsettia Garland

These beautiful poinsettias are made from plastic water
bottles that have been cut and painted then strung
as a garland. Such a wonderful way to recycle! Get

Tissue Paper Wreath Christmas Craft
