Or maybe you need some ideas to keep them busy while you’re cooking dinner. Whatever your reason, these 5-minute crafts for kids will save the day. With just a few household supplies, you’ll have them occupied for hours!

5 Minute Craft for Kids 

If you’re looking for a quick and easy craft to do with your kids, here are some fun crafts that can be completed in five minutes!

Balloon Collage. This art project is perfect for little hands and imagination. Simply take your balloons (or inflate them if they’re not already blown up), let your kids paint or decorate them however they want, then hang them up on a wall where everyone can see. It’s like having a mobile of colorful balloons floating around!

Face Masks. Make masks using rice paper and liquid watercolors—it only takes seconds before the mask is dry enough to wear! The rice paper makes it breathable so there won’t be any irritation on sensitive skin or noses that might otherwise get irritated by other materials used in face masks (like rubber bands).

Art Project Jar. Create an art project jar filled with odds and ends like fabric scraps; buttons; beads; markers/crayons/colored pencils/etc.; glue sticks; pipe cleaners etc., etc., etc… Children will love opening the jar up each day when they come home from school so they can create something new every single day!

Crafts Are A Great Way For Children

As a parent, you probably already know how important it is to spend time with your kids. One way to do this is through crafts.

Crafts are a great way for children to learn new skills and express themselves creatively.

In this craft, you’ll make a bird feeder for your backyard using only paper plates and popsicle sticks! While five minutes may seem like not enough time, once you’re done making this project, it will be ready to hang in no time flat!

Create a Rainbow Jar

This is another craft that you can make with your kids, and it will also teach them about the world around them. 

The rainbow jar can be made in any color, but this one is created with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. We used paper to line our jar because it is easy to cut out shapes from paper and glue them onto the glass jar. 

You may use whatever materials you have available; some suggestions include construction paper or craft foam sheets (like this). 

Once you have your rainbow colors cut out of paper or foam sheeting (or whatever material), glue each piece onto the inside of your glass jar starting with red at the bottom and going up through yellow at the top, and ending in purple on top. The result will be beautiful!

Make A Bird Feeder Out Of A Plastic Bottle

This is a great project for kids to do with their parents, and it only takes five minutes. All you need is one empty plastic bottle, some string and twine, scissors, and glue.

Start by cutting off the top of your empty plastic bottle with your scissors, then cut off the bottom as well—but be sure not to cut so far down that you start cutting into the part where the cap screws on!

Next, wrap some string around one end of your empty water bottle; this will be used as a hanger for your bird feeder later on. Tie it securely in place with pieces of twine or other string fasteners if needed (you don’t have to use them).

Now fill up halfway with birdseed through one end using either an eye dropper or another small spoon-like object; this may take two or three tries before it becomes easier for you as an adult or older child who knows how much stuff fits inside there without spilling out all over again! If needed add more seed until the desired level has been reached – but don’t forget about any leftover bits at the bottom corners because once those dry out too much they won’t smell very good anymore either!!

Make The Paper Chain

Material. Paper plate. Scissors

The Steps to Make the Paper Chain

Cut the bottom of your paper plate off.

Fold the top of your paper plate down so that it’s now flat.

Use a hole punch to punch holes along one side as shown in the photo above. These will be where you place each paper clip link so make sure they’re evenly spaced out (I used 5 links per inch) and don’t overlap with other holes!

Paper Plate Flower

Materials Needed

1 Paper Plate

  • Scissors
  • Tape or glue stick

Directions

Cut the bottom of your paper plate off (the part with the writing on it) so that you have a flat piece of paper.

 Fold-down each side to make petals, making sure they are even on all sides and smooth lines are formed between each fold so it looks like a flower petal when unfolded.

Repeat until you get 5 or 6 petals total, depending on how big you want your flower to be. You can also use these folded edges as points for attaching other things later on if desired!

Attach tape or a glue stick at each point where there is an edge folded over from step #2; this will help keep them together when open but still allow for easy removal later if needed! Once done doing this, 

simply unfold all 5-6 layers (or however many) in front of you so that the whole sheet has been unfolded into one flat sheet again…and voila! A completed paper plate flower!

Making a flower Craft for Kids

Making a flower or butterfly with a glue gun is very simple and easy to do.

the end of your pipe cleaner and twist it. Then, bend it into an upside-down V shape. Repeat this step until you have enough petals for the flower you want to make. You can also just leave them straight if that’s what you prefer!

Next, take your glue gun (with the tip covered in hot glue) and place a dot of hot glue on each petal where it touches another petal or stem so that they stay together when placed on top of one another—it should look like an upside-down star!

You can add more layers as needed for additional stability; if necessary, use tweezers to help position these pieces appropriately before gluing them down firmly into place–just make sure not too much time passes between steps because otherwise, those pesky insects will find their way inside…Take 

Make a Paper Plate Sun

This is an easy art project that will teach your kids about the sun. You only need one paper plate and a few other materials, which you can easily find in your home or craft store. 

You will also need scissors, glue, and a paintbrush. This craft is simple enough that even very young children can make it without help from an adult.

Materials needed.

One white paper plate

A yellow paintbrush (or red if you want to make it more orange)

A bottle of yellow acrylic paint (or red acrylic paint if you want it more orange)

Instructions

Cut off the center of the paper plate using your scissors so that there are two separate half-circles left; this will be used as windows for our sun later on

paper plate Craft for Kids 

With a paper plate, some paint, and a hole punch, you can make a paper plate sun catcher.

First, take your paper plate and make a hole in the middle of it with a hammer and nail or hole puncher. Next, paint the entire plate with different colors of acrylic paint according to your child’s wishes. Let them choose as many colors as they want! 

Finally, hang it outside on their window sill or near their bed where they can see it at night hanging above them while they sleep

Crafts Are A Good Way To Spend Some Fun Time 

Five-minute crafts are a great way to spend some time with your kids. They can be done with things you already have in your house and they don’t take very long to make!

It’s easy to get stuck in a rut of doing the same thing every day or week, but it’s important to change things up once in a while so that you don’t get bored. That’s where five-minute crafts come into play! 

They’re quick, easy, and fun for both parties involved–not just the child but also the parent or caregiver who gets to spend time with their child while making something together. When you’re done making something together, there will be no regrets because it took only five minutes!
