Bored
Kids - Things to Do!
Have you ever heard those familiar
words, "I'm bored," coming from the mouth of your child? If so, then
kid crafts are the answer. Provide the kids with craft materials and
boredom will be a thing of the past. Read on for ideas about kid
crafts.
Kid
crafts essential materials include paper, crayons, safe scissors,
and glue. Paper for kid crafts can include construction paper,
plain typing paper, cardstock of various colors, and many other
options. Even junk mail and old magazines can make interesting
art projects. Crayons are nice for younger children, but the
stores are now filled with other options, such as washable dry-erase
markers, watercolor pencils, and gel pens. Kid crafts supplies
can run into money, but even on a budget there are many possibilities.
Other materials kids can craft with include recycled junk and
found objects. By recycled junk, I'm referring to empty cereal
boxes, toothpaste boxes, cardboard from packaging, plastic containers,
and even tin cans. If you let kids craft with tin cans, however,
you need to make sure the open edge of the can doesn't have
any sharp edges. Simply file these off or squeeze them flat
with a pair of pliers.
Found objects include leaves, twigs, rocks, snakeskins, and
other natural item a child might find. Perhaps there is a sheep
farm nearby. If so, wool scraps can often be found stuck to
the barbed wire fences. Any or all of these items can be used
in kid crafts.
One of the most fun and popular kid crafts is making a collage.
Kids can glue anything down when making a collage. Use heavy
paper for the background, and then let the creativity begin!
For an extra challenge, a collage can be built around a theme,
like food, animals, or babies. Old magazines can be searched
for just the right pictures, which can be cut out and glued
to the background. The older child might wish to cut out details
from magazine pictures and reassemble them in new and interesting
ways. They might cut out interesting words and headlines and
add them as well.
Younger kid crafts can include collages made of glued down pasta,
beans, popsicle sticks, leaves, and many other materials. Don't
forget about glitter, too. If the budget allows only a few kid
crafts splurges, remember that kids of all ages, particularly
girls, really enjoy crafting artwork that includes glitter.
But whether your kids are boys or girls, young or older, suggest
some kid crafts the next time your kids are bored!
