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

Squirrel Art for Kids

I love this easy squirrel art project at Leon Pas Sur Les Murs.
It's perfect to display all year round!

Beautiful Leaf Print Art

I love the surprise of printing fall leaves with white paint on
black paper at Deep Space Sparkle. The colorful backgrounds
make them really pop too!

Paper Leaf Craft for Fall

Check out this gorgeous accordion folded fall leaf paper craft
at Pink Stripey Socks. It's an easy tutorial and something
that kids of different ages can enjoy doing together.

Pretty Painted Wood Jewelry and More!

You'll love the pretty results of painting on wood beads, bangles,
and coasters and the kids will love making them. Your big box
craft store carries a variety of wood items ready for painting
but you should also check out your local thrift store too.
Get the details at We Are Scout.
