Creative Arts & Crafts Ideas for Kids (From 5 Brands We Love)
For rainy days and long weekends ahead, we like to keep a few fun crafts on deck at all times. Here are a few of our favorites from the brands we count on to keep our kids' imaginations running wild.
For the Mermaid and Unicorn Obsessed
From creating their own terrarium to bedecking a mermaid in glitter and foil, these elaborate kits from Box CanDIY offer hours of fun for them (and maybe a minute of freedom for you).
For the Easy-Go-Lucky
If your kid is the up-for-anything type, Bright Stripes offers more than a few unexpected ways to spend your next rainy Saturday. Decoupage elephant, anyone? Or maybe you’d like to crochet a narwhal hat?
For the Disaster Prone (or Road-Trip Bound)
If your kids tend to make arts & crafts time over the top messy, may we suggest these perfectly contained, magnetic play scenes and mess-proof water pads from Floss & Rock. Bonus points: they’re perfect for your next long car ride.
For the Generalist
Whether they want to paint rocks or create their own ice cream sundae, Kid Made Modern has something for everyone...their colorful and action-packed kits also work really well together, so you can collect them all and craft away.
For the Free Spirit
If your child is happier charting their own creative adventure than meticulously following steps 1, 2, and 3, OOLY has everything they need to express their little unique selves.
