Simple, no mess crafts 4 all ages

[praisehimau]

I have a 3 6 and 9 year old. I am looking for no mess crafts and games I can play with all those ages. I play uno, dominos with my 6 and 9 year old, but the 3 year old cant do those. I find drawing and painting difficult due to the fact that I am blind, and the kids tend to draw on things a part from the paper.

How about lego? Is good fun but also creative.

For crafts you could try something like weaving, pipe cleaner modelling, balloon modelling, origami. The early learning centre used to sell bags of 'clay' that doesn't need to be baked, and is quite dry, so not too much mess.

thanks for the replies.

Just thought of a game I enjoyed when I was young. You might need the help of your eldest to set this up though.

Basically it's a tasting test, you get a bunch of tea spoons, and raid the cupboards for anything and everything: jam, honey, ketchup, mustard, cocoa, sugar etc. You put the food on the spoons and place them over the edge of a table turned downwards (if it is a dry item, just wet the spoon before dipping). Everyone takes turn tasting the spoon and trying to guess what's on them. You throw in one or two bitter tasting things, just for fun ;)
