Kids Crafts
As you may be aware I post a kid’s craft post every week, that I have completed with my son Red Ted. We usually do a combination of his work with “my help”, as he is only 2.5yrs (at the time of writing, Aug 2010). This means two things 1) the crafts I do can easily be used with older children, they should not get bored and b) you can do more with your toddler, i.e. you do the cutting & assembling parts of an activity and the toddler paints/ colours etc.
Also, I frequently combine my craft projects with a book. I was inspired to do this by Michelle at A Mommy’s Adventure and Zoe at Playing By The Book. They are fabulous ladies, so do check out their blogs!!

Hi,
Really great creative site for kids! I am very keen on creativity for kids and have written about this in a buying guide on my site http://www.uptothemoon.com/buying-guides/guide/arts-and-crafts-importance-creative-development/. As a designer myself I love arts and crafts and have lots of these products on the site. Would it be possible for you to review a couple of our crafty products?
Many thanks,
Nicola Howlett
