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

Temporary Mosaic Art With Kids

Check out this great post at Meri Cherry about temporary
mosaic art. The materials are simple, all ages will enjoy it,
plus you can do it outside - sounds like the beginnings
of a great day with the kids!

Children's Art Mobile

Parents understand that kids can create a prodigous amount
of artwork and you don't always know what to do with all
of it. This lovely tutorial at Make It Your Own shows you
how to turn your children's art into unique mobiles
with a few sticks and some beads!

Rainbow Slime Paint

Two-daloo shares a rainbow slime recipe that's okay to taste
but doesn't taste good so even if little ones taste it they won't
be encouraged to eat it. Plus, it's gorgeous to look at
and a wonderful sensory experience.

Paper Bag Crowns Kids Craft

Don't wait for a birthday party to make these gorgeous paper
bag crowns at Art Bar. What's even better about these crowns?
They are completely designed by 4-year olds!

Printing With Bleeding Tissue Paper

Bleeding tissue paper makes beautiful prints that can be
organic or structured depending on the whims of
the artist. Find out more at Fiskars.

Vacation Mobile Craft For Kids

Here's a wonderful way to record your summer vacation
memories by making them into a mobile. Sweet drawings
of favorite memories make this a keepsake that will be
around much longer than some store-bought souvenir.
Details are at Classic Play.

Free Printable: Fun Food Playdough Play Mats!

I love this free playdough mat printable at Picklebums.
Kids can use their creativity to build ice cream
sundaes, cakes, and dinner with play dough.
