Crafts for Kids of All Ages
26 May 2011A little creativity is all that is needed to keep kids of all ages involved in some craft projects for a few hours.
One simple project is making magnets out of felt. You would simply need some colorful felt squares, a pair of scissors, some craft glue and a roll of sticky magnet tape. You can get these supplies in any craft store such as Michael’s or Joann’s, for a minimal cost. You can cut out shapes for the youngest children, from ages 2-6, and older ones can cut and design shapes themselves.
A simple white felt oval with a yellow round middle is a fried egg. Simply glue the “yolk” to the “white” and glue a piece of magnet tape to the back. Another simple idea would be to make fruit magnets, use yellow, green and orange to make citrus fruit “slices.” Cut half circles of each color and use three or four coordinating colors in diamond shapes for the fruit slice effect. Again use the craft glue and glue the magnet to the back.
Pin backs can be glued in place of magnets for wearable art that older children can design and wear or sell at school fundraisers.
