Practically all kids love doing crafts and making things - it's fun. Finding time for busy parents and single parents to have fun with their kids and crafts is a very real issue. There can be many things to think about and be concerned over! Aside from the prep and post cleaning, there's the task of getting through it while maintaining peace and happy children - right? However there actually is good news only because crafts can be done with much less stress and anxiety. So what we're going to talk about are some solid tips that will greatly increase your chances of crafting with your kids and having a lot of fun, too.
First choose a project that everyone will enjoy regardless of age. Doing this will make sure the whole family enjoys the project. That way you are also covered. If, for example, you forgot to buy left handed scissors for your left handed daughter, your right handed son can do the cutting part of the project while your daughter concentrates on gluing the pieces together. We know how it is, but it's worth it to make the attempt to get your kids to help with the mess when you're done. There is no reason that you have to drag yourself through the whole clean up all by yourself. Try making them feel like it's a friendly and fun game. What they'll do is see who put things away the fastest such as that special pair of left-handed scissors. See who can get the most crayons back into the bucket. Who is the fastest at picking up the scraps of paper? Play a song, sing a song, dance with the music while picking up trash. The key is fun and enthusiasm on your part that is infectious to your kids.
Try to ensure your children only work on crafts that are suitable to their age group. While you don't have to pay strict attention to the age restrictions on the boxes of your craft projects, you do need to be mindful of your own kids' skill sets. Never give them a project that is way far out ahead of what they can do because that can make them lose some sense of confidence. There is a balance to this because if you give them a highly easy task to do, then they might get bored and then just want to quit and do something else. You also need to avoid planting the thought that you don't think they can handle something 'complicated,' and then they're insulted.
You know how much children love doing their crafts; it is just pure fun for them. Kids are natural born creators and are thrilled with making anything. But with adults, they just have too many things on their minds and worry so much. Try to relax, have fun, and put these craft tips to good use in your family's life. Even if you don't have any lefties in your family; be sure to get some left-handed scissors anyway just in case... you never know.
