Free Kid Craft Ideas
Coming up with new kid craft ideas is probably the most difficult part of doing crafts with kids. The first hurdle to overcome is deciding what is age-appropriate for your child. This can be especially difficult with very young children. After all, every child is different. Some have better coordination or attention spans for their age than others. You know your child better than anyone, so use your own instincts on this one.
Crafting with older children can also be difficult because you have to find craft ideas that will keep their interest and be challenging enough for them to do.
You'll find lots of links to crafting ideas on this page!
Nursery Rhymes
My kids really seem to get a kick out of some of the nursery rhymes, so I decided to make theme days out of them. Each one is really only designed to be a single day, but of course they can be incorporated into other themes or extended into more than one day.
Little Miss Muffet
Baa Baa Black Sheep
Twinkle Little Star
Humpty Dumpty
Mary Had A Little Lamb
Hey Diddle Diddle
Jack and Jill
Little Boy Blue

Letters of the Alphabet
Teaching children the letters of the alphabet is much easier if you can incorporate some fun activities and crafts into the learning. Besides, children learn best through play!
