We've lots of time inside during the winter with the short, dark, cold days. I'm forever telling dd to find something to do that isn't telly or computer.

To help her along, can any of you please point us in the direction of some blogs and/or websites that could give her some suggestions and/or instructions about some interesting do-at-home craft projects?

I've not searched extensively, but the ones I've found are aimed at quite young children, or adults.

And if it is not asking too much - while I don't mind helping out a bit, would love to point her toward things she could mostly manage on her own (and that don't require endless trips to the shops for materials).

Thank you.

Bump. Hopefully all you crafty people are up late, and feeling helpful!

Would also be interested in any books, if they provide good ideas. Links would be appreciated.

Those books look very interesting - can't wait to read more about them, and to order them from the library and/or Amazon. Thank you for the suggestions.

DD likes most craft activities - with the exception of clay/sculpting, which is probably her least favourite.

Usually she just needs an idea and the materials, and she's off in her own world. I find the trickiest part is simply coming up with the idea - hence my request for books/blogs/websites etc.

Anyone else?
