Easy Arts & Crafts for Kids: 50 Fun Projects to Make, Wear, and Share

Great ideas for the kids to give them something to do.

First of all I would like to state that I received a free review copy the book easy arts and crafts for kids 50 fun projects to make wear and share by Jennifer Perkins. I was not asked to give a review this is my honest opinion I love this book. I am a coleader of a brownie and Jr Girl Scout troop and I have been looking for crafts for our girls to work on for the stem which is science technology engineering arts and math they receive patches for working in the stem area. When I seen the mindful jars oh my goodness this was the perfect idea for our Girl Scout troop you get bottles baby oil water food coloring glitter whatever little trinkets you want to put in your jar you’re hot glue the top of the lid on and then you turn the jar upside down it reminds me kind of like a lava lamp. We will be making these as well as using them when we work on our staying fit badge we will be doing yoga I will have the girls bring their mindful jars and as they watch the bubbles sequins or trinkets whatever they use they will practice their breathing techniques to begin our yoga practice. The pressed Leafly entrance is another great project for outdoors we will be using the dried flowers as colorful leaves are not abundant right now because spring is in the air we will be making these for our Mother’s Day you use popsicle sticks craft sticks whack sheet paper and of course we will have our mothers iron them together we were using LTE lamps and they will use this as a lantern they will be out looking for different flowers as I said and leaves, the fall.The pressed leaf lanterns is another great project for outdoors we will be using the dried flowers as colorful leaves are not abundant right now because spring is in the air we will be making these for our Mother’s Day you use popsicle sticks craft sticks wax sheet paper and of course we will have our mothers iron them together we were using LTE lamps and they were use this as a lantern they will be out looking for different flowers as I said and leaves, the fall

It was good item

So you get over 50 fun projects you can make them wear them etc. Let’s start with the best friend doughnut charm necklace. It has a messy meter on this point, it comes to three. It could go up to five. It tells you exactly what you need in this case , clay in tan and colors for frosting with sprinkles. Various clay tools. And that is optional. Aluminum foil. An oven, necklace chain, small blank flat circle charm tag, craft glue and superglue. From there it walks you through how to roll flatten and make everything you need for the donut and the icing. It takes you through how to add sprinkles. And then how to press it and then cook it. At that point the charm is ready to go and an adult is asked to superglue the donut on to do circle charm tech. You thread it and you have a necklace. It’s just one example of what is in the book there’s so many different things to do they give you different meters on how messy it is. And you cannot really go wrong. There’s over 50 different plants in all are very easy to do I don’t require a whole lot of work other than taking the time with your child to have fun. I highly recommend. It would be a wonderful gift for anyone is looking for crafts do with their kids there is plenty of practical crafts that allow you to wear them decorate them and just have plain old fun.

The book itself was great. Unfortunately, mine arrived burnt and melted. The back cover looks like someone held a lighter to it in 3 different places.

This is a fun book that came at the perfect time. My kids enjoyed looking through and getting lots of ideas for projects they want to do. This book is organized well and easy to follow. I like that a lot of the projects can be done with simple materials we already have around the house. The directions are straightforward and I like the messy meter it has at the beginning so I have an idea of what to expect. There is a good variety of projects included. My kids are 2, 5 and 7, and there are projects they can do with my help, and there are lots that we can do as they get older and some that are fun for us adults to do as well. Overall I am happy with this book. My wife is excited to try some with the kids this week. Thanks for reading this and please do let me know if this is helpful by clicking on the helpful button below, and feel free to leave a comment below if you have any questions or would like to see additional pictures and I will do my best to answer it. Thank you, cheers. Cass

This book could not have come at a better time: our kids are stuck at home due to quarantine, and these projects are sure boredom busters! I love that there's plenty of pictures and clear instructions, and that most projects use materials that we already have at home and allow kids to recycle some in creative ways. Even though my daughters may not do all 50, I believe these ideas helped spark their own creative solution, which is also great.

This is a great crafting resource that provides instructions to make 50 different items. The projects use a variety of materials, many of which you may have on hand. Some projects may require purchasing additional supplies, for example chalkboard slime which requires chalkboard paint, but many use materials that can be upcycled from household items or potential recycling items. There is a decent variety of skill levels as well. Some projects will require supervision but many don't. This book is a great way to keep kids busy and using their creativity. Giftable.

Bought as part of a Christmas parent for one of my great nieces who loves crafting. She will be 10 at Christmas and I would say this book is just right for helping her with her crafting

Excellent little book, my granddaughter loves it and has done a numbe of the activities. I recommend this book. It is expensive but a great book

Lovely arts and crafts book for children with great illustrations. Loads for them to complete with easy instructions.

Bought for my friends daughter who is very into craft work. The book had everything a child of 7 years and upwards could make.

Perfect
