Easy Crafts for Kids

If you are looking for Easy Crafts for Kids to do with things that you have around the home, this page is your best starting point. It is packed and I mean PACKED with easy kids crafts ideas to keep you busy for a long time!

This should really be called a “Craft 101” opposed 101 Crafts, as you will in fact find MORE than 101 kids crafts ideas here!

kids crafts ideas 101

Hopefully it will be your “craft idea” rescue whenever you are stuck for crafty inspiration and you will always find things to make! If you need Preschool Crafts by theme, we have a dedicated Preschool Crafts Page to browse!

Currently Trending Kids Crafts:

  • Pokemon Paper Toys (Free templates)
  • How to make a Volcano
  • Corner Bookmark Designs (over 100 ideas!)

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! Something for big kids and little kids! Though we have a special Preschool Crafts update here too.

Our basic craft materials for these easy kids crafts include:

  • Paint & brushes (we love acrylic paint as it has a great finish but it is best for big kids, so any paint will do!)
  • PVA glue & tape
  • Googly eyes – though these days we love to “cut” our own eyes out to make them more eco friendly
  • Plain paper

The rest I have “hoarded” over time – e.g. saved colourful tissue paper from presents, using old children’s clothing for fabric etc and of course paper towel rolls and cereal boxes make great craft materials for kiddos.

Easy Kids Crafts – in reverse chronological order:

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).

NOTE: The below is a little miss-aligned, as we are currently going through a technical update and it all got a bit skewy.. bear with me whilst I fix it all!
