10 Arts and Crafts for Creative Fun!
Arts and crafts bring hours of creative fun and enjoyment to children. They get to put their skills to good use in creating stuff – enjoying the process as well as the end product. Everything you need for your creations is in the box and many items are well-packaged to take with you to keep kids occupied such as when in cars and restaurants. Great to play with alone, or when friends come round to keep them busy.
Arts & Crafts are good party activities where you can create sock puppets, mosaic pictures, magic painting pens, secret pictures, bath jellies, balloon characters, playdough castles, scratch art and more…
