Here are a few Kid friendly crafts I and my kids do last summer.
I bought these already built bird houses @ Hobby Lobby, I just had the kids paint & being all girls they wanted Glitter (which makes everything so much Better!! )
(coming summer 2014 we will be making our own Birdhouses out of recycled items)
DIY Sculpture
This one was a blast, it takes a few days to finish
Supplies: Wire, Foam block, Pantyhose, Hot glue, Gesso paint (white), Craft Paint
Take a sturdy & flexible wire, thick foam cut to size, Cut the leg of any pantyhose (keeping toe intact). Bend the wire into any shape you desire, place ea. end into the foam (you cut to size) I hot glued and stapled the ends in (secure as you please). Place pantyhose over top part of wire, Working around wire to create desired shape, tie the open end on the bottom of foam. (trim off access) No worries if there is a hole or tear you can work around it. Paint over entire Sculpture with Gesso paint, let dry Over night and do a second layer of Gesso Paint. After entirely dry paint in any color allow paint to dry and you are set . A one of a kind sculpture made by you sweet lil someone!
Kid Art work
This I had the girls make to put up in their bathroom (which is a Colorful Fish Theme)
I drew and cut the fish out myself, however my girls are little so big kids could do this part them selves.
Then they colored it how ever they wanted. Took blue paper Drew bubbles on it with a white crayon, fold it accordion style all the way across, then cut slits the opposite way across. Place them in a frame taping them in place.
Good Luck & Happy Crafting
