Felt flowers

Felt flowers are a great craft for kids because they’re so easy to make.

Felt is a fabric that can be cut and sewn into all sorts of shapes, which means you’ll have plenty of options when it comes to making the perfect flower.

You can use your newfound skills to make bouquets for home decorating, gifts or even gift tags! There are plenty of ways that felt flowers will come in handy around the house, so let’s dive right in and start making some!

A pumpkin patch

Materials needed

Orange, yellow, and green cardstock

Glue
Googly eyes

Pumpkin cutouts (optional)

Cut out pumpkins from orange cardstock and glue them to the yellow paper using a glue gun. You can leave your kids’ hands messy by not using a glue gun if you want them to be more creative in how they attach their pumpkins!

Cut out leaf shapes from green paper with a pair of scissors and let your child glue them onto the paper wherever he or she likes for extra decoration!

Let your child paint his project using paint brushes on a tray full of watered-down paints made with watercolors or finger paints. You may want to put some newspaper underneath so that it doesn’t get stained by any spills!

Apple stamp tea towels

Materials

a pair of rubber gloves

1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon salt (kosher or sea)

1 large apple (any variety), washed and dried well

Cotton ball ghosts

Here’s a fun Halloween craft that’s easy enough for even the youngest crafter. You can make these in minutes, and they look great on your mantle or kitchen table.

You’ll need:

cotton balls (you’ll need a bunch of them)
small pieces of yarn or twine (if you want to hang your ghost)

To make one, simply roll up bits of cotton ball into tiny balls and glue them to a piece of cardboard or foam board. Use a marker to draw faces on each one with eyes, mouths, and noses.

If you want to hang your ghosts, tie small pieces of yarn around their tops so they can be hung from strings or wire hangers.

Paper plate snowflake

Supplies

Paper plate, any size you want (I like the kind that is more durable and have smooth edges)

Scissors or a hole punch. If you’re using scissors, get some big ones!

How to make it

Cut out the middle of your paper plate and then cut each remaining half into 4 equal wedges as shown in the photo below. You should now have 8 sections of the paper plate that look like this:

Fold each section into a triangle shape as shown in the photo below:
Unfold all 8 sections and reassemble them with all four tips facing outwards so that it looks like this:

Egg carton flower garden

It’s easy to make a flower garden out of an egg carton. All you need is an empty egg carton and seeds, which you can get at your local nursery or purchase online.

If you want to get fancy with it, buy some soil and grass seed so that when the plants grow they’ll have something to grow in. Then just fill each section with dirt and plant the seeds!

This craft is great because:

You can use all different kinds of seeds in one container—that way, everyone gets what they want!

Black Cat Silhouettes

Make a black cat silhouette

Using black construction paper, make a cat face by drawing two large ears and two smaller ears, then draw the rest of the face. Make sure you use a ruler to make straight lines!
Cut out the silhouette

Cut out your cat silhouette with scissors or an X-ACTO knife—be careful not to cut yourself! If you’re using construction paper or card stock as your base material, be sure to cut it on one side first (the outside edge), then flip over your shape and cut through again so that both sides of your scrapbooking paper are even on either side of each other (like cutting along an edge).

This part might take some patience as it’s easy to slip when trying not only with regular scissors but also if using one with rounded edges like paper punches would also cause this type of mistake if they weren’t used correctly before being placed back down in order; otherwise, they’ll end up ripping apart instead.”

Let it snow!

Materials

3/4 cups of salt
3/4 cups of water (or water mixed with cornstarch)
Food coloring (optional)

How to make it

Pour 1 cup of salt and 2 cups of hot tap water into a bowl or pot so that you won’t mind getting very salty and wet. Stir until all the salt has dissolved, then add food coloring if desired.

You can add more or less depending on how much snow you want! Just make sure to keep stirring until everything is mixed together well and no dry clumps remain.

Place out on a flat surface, such as a cookie sheet or tray lined with baking paper/parchment paper so any excess drips don’t get stuck inside your oven later when they’re done cooling down before being stored away again (and possibly clogged up there).

Put another layer over top but don’t stack up too much—just enough so each layer covers what’s underneath but doesn’t touch the next one directly above since we want those edges around our “snowflakes” instead )

Rainy day art prints

Rainy days are the perfect time for making art prints!

You can do this with kids of all ages, and it’s a fun way to practice fine motor skills and learn about colors.

Simply trace shapes onto paper, then paint them with crayons or markers (or tissue paper). Let dry, cut out your prints, and display them on your wall!

Ombre Building Blocks

Materials

Ombre building blocks (I found mine at a dollar store, but you could also get them at Walmart or Target)
Paintbrush and paint (or use markers to color the outer edge of each block)

Instructions

Paint or color the bottom of your first block with a light color, like white. Let it dry completely before moving on to step 2!

Using a darker shade than your first, paint or color one side of your second block. You want this to be noticeably darker than your first block but not so dark that it’s black or gray—you should be able to see some brightness peeking through in spots if you look closely at the blocks together after they’ve both dried!

Repeat this process until all of your blocks are painted with different shades from lightest to darkest—you’ll end up with something like an ombre rainbow when they’re stacked together!
