When the day calls for something quieter (or you just need everyone to reset), break out the art supplies. Crafting gives kids a chance to slow down, get creative and make something all their own. These ideas are perfect for filling an afternoon and letting imaginations take the lead. Bonus: Many of these ideas are easy to clean up, especially when you take the creativity outside.
- Get creative and make one of these ooey-gooey slime recipes.
- Celebrate the beauty of spring with outdoorsy crafts and activities.
- Try one of these outdoor art projects that can be created in your backyard — and cleaned up with a swish or two of your garden hose.
- Don’t take out the recycling just yet! Building with cardboard can keep kids busy, and result in some cool creations.
- Order one of these clever kits today and pull it out when you need a special at-home activity during spring break.
