Kids Craft Kits in Arts & Crafts for Kids

How does crafting help kids developmentally?

Crafts are made with the hands, so crafting helps build a child's hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. Children learn to express themselves in a creative way through crafts, and making crafts helps them learn numbers, colors, shapes, and patterns.

How can I keep crafting supplies organized?

To keep craft supplies organized, invest in an array of plastic storage buckets and keep them on a shelf in your child's bedroom or playroom. If you're lacking in space, store craft supplies in an over-the-door shoe caddy or get a wheeled storage cart. Drawer dividers help with organization by separating craft supplies like markers, paints, beads, feathers, and pom poms.

What kinds of crafts are appropriate for kindergartners?

Kindergartners love crafts that involve cutting and gluing paper, coloring, painting, and molding items out of dough or clay. Just a few popular kindergarten-age projects include paper bag puppets, painted rocks, potato prints, homemade play dough, and nature collages.
