Kids Crafts
Crafting with my mom and grandma is one of my favorite pastimes. Since becoming a mom, I have always felt it was important to encourage my kids to be creative and think outside the box. Exploring different art techniques, creating kids crafts, and being inspired by everything around us is something I started early on with my two kids.
In this section, you will find many of our arts and crafts we have created over the years. Some are mommy and me, some are general kids crafts and art projects, and others are crafts made with a group of kids during playdates with friends or with a playgroup.
