Kids craft morning ideas

[Zapx]

Hey everyone! I’m after ideas! have approx eight 6-10 year olds coming round for a craft morning… So far I have rubber stamps and card making, bracelet making, face painting, origami. Any great ideas I should get on the list? I haven’t done this before and there might be a few of these events so I’m after as many great ideas as poss. Thanks so much in advance!

Have they chosen to be there and do craft or is it a group of kids who are friends already? I would put something more sensory based in for those who aren't crafty. Slime making? Water beads with a marble run? Painting with marbles and paint or paint and washing up liquid and straws or papier mashier (cant remember how to spell that!). Or perler beads?

Leaf prints? I've found it's easier before the leaves go brown and curl up but there are still a few around that are flat enough and might inspire colours. If the wee ones collecting them is an option so much the better.

I would have 2-3 ideas max in a session tbh, otherwise it’ll be carnage! And scrap the origami unless you have a few adults around - from experience that age group needs a lot of help with it. Look on Pinterest for endless inspiration.

Paper crafts are good - anything you can do with paper, scissors, print stick.
