KarensVariety.com

Children love crafts. They have wonderful imaginations. Most stores sell kits for children to assemble crafts. These, however, all have pictures of the finished product and, of course, children expect to produce a finished craft similar to what is shown on the box. This can be very frustrating as it is not often that this works out. Why not have a Craft Bag in your home which children can use at any time? Make a suggestion if your child needs ideas and then let his or her imagination take over.

Fill the craft bag with items from your home, or with purchased craft pieces. Think before you throw anything out, some part of it may be a future work of art. Garage sales are great for craft supplies. Remember to keep the craft bag suitable for your child's age. Very young children should not have very small pieces. Also, remember to ensure your items are clean, wash anything that you can wash before putting it in the craft bag.

Your children will make home decorations for every holiday, they will make practical items for you. Your home will be well organized with various holders. They will make flat pictures, 3D pictures and objects.

Small children delight in making beautifully decorated pen holders from cans, older children can make whole towns, characters, and vehicles from left over boxes and cans. Dinky cars can drive and park in  towns, dolls will have lovely furniture and accessories.

Each will be unique and worthy of much praise. You will develop your child's imagination, creativity and self esteem, and your children will learn a valuable lesson about recycling.
