Kids Crafts

This should really be called a “Craft 101″ opposed 101 Crafts, as you will in fact find MORE than 101 kids crafts ideas here! And hopefully it will be your “craft idea” rescue whenever you are stuck for crafty inspiration and you will always find things to make!
This list is regularly updated, so do pop back for more!
This is a list in chronological order of more or less ALL kids crafts ideas you will find on Red Ted Art. There is A LOT for you to choose from!
The crafts you will find here are for all age groups – older kids can complete them by themselves, younger kids can help you make them – giving you wonderful quality time together.
Also, I frequently combine my craft projects with a book.
You will find that most of these crafts are cheap to make – I believe that crafting with children shouldn’t cost the earth. So with a bit of recycling, nature walks and basic materials, you should be all set!
Our basic materials include:
* Paint & brushes
* PVA glue & tape
* Googly eyes (VERY important!)
* Plain paper
The rest I have “hoarded” over time – e.g. saved colourful tissue paper from presents, using old children’s clothings for fabric etc etc.
Kids Get Crafty: You will also find a “link up” starting every Wednesday and open for the week, we you are more than welcome to share your Kids Crafts posts – be itcrafts with or for your kids! Anything goes, no rules, save for no items for sale or giveaways please!!! You can find the latest link up party under “Headline or Feature” on the homepage. Badges here.
If you are looking for something specific, there is a CATEGORY drop down menu on the right hand side, you can search by type (e.g. sticking) or theme (e.g. Easter or Card Making).
