    Craft FAQs

    I have endeavored to include a wide range of crafts suitable for children of all ages. We’ve categorized crafts by recommended age group to make finding an appropriate project easier. Adult supervision is advised for certain crafts, especially when sharp tools are involved.

    Most of the materials used in these crafts can be found at your local dollar store or arts and crafts store. Common items include construction paper, glue, scissors, markers, paint, etc. You may have many of these craft supplies on hand in your home.

    Absolutely! The focus of these crafts is to encourage creativity and make learning fun, not to create perfect masterpieces. Each craft comes with step-by-step instructions to guide your child through the process.

    These crafts are designed to get children excited about school and learning. They incorporate a wide range of skills, such as fine motor skills and creative thinking. Plus, they can provide opportunities for children to express their feelings about the upcoming school year in a fun and creative way.
