Craft Projects to Keep Kids Busy

Sharing is caring!

Kids are the best! They love to explore and learn as much as possible. However, that can be tiring for mom and dad.

It’s all about keeping them busy. I’m not talking about watching TV or playing video games. I’m talking about doing fun things with them!

Craft projects are fun and it gives you something to do together.

When my kids were little we always did craft projects together. Now, my oldest daughter is in high school so it’s not quite the same.

We no longer plan fun craft projects to do together. BUT, if I’m doing a craft project by myself she always asks if she can help. If you have kids in high school I’m sure you can understand that that makes my heart completely melt.

Life is all about having fun and making memories!

Below is a list of some awesome craft projects, so you can create your own special memories….and keep your kids busy. 🙂

I love these adorable quirky paper puppets - with mouthes that open and close with a clothespin! Love this unique, easy clothespin craft for kids (or adults).
