Best art and craft websites/ideas for children

[daysoftheweek]

Please can you give me some ideas about these, looking for simple seasonal ideas wiht instructions.

thanks

Hi daysoftheweek,

Well it's just an idea, but why not make the kids some Peter Pan costumes and get them involved in the up and coming Peter Pan Week. I made two for my little ones and they're really easy, here's a link to show you. It starts on 26 April, but my youngest has insisted on wearing hers early and needless to say, I'll be making a replacement this weekend, sand, mud, the works!

Good Luck

Crafty Crow does a round up of them all, Kidscraft weekly is very good. The Artful Parent is quite good too. Think Salt and Chocolate had a few ideas.

It was the Easter archives in Salt and Chocolate,loads in Kidscraft Weekly,need to look on the archives newsletters.

love the Peter Pan costume!! I forgot I make one for DS when he was about 4, and I did pretty muich the same thing as those instructions, it looked great!

Glad you liked the Peter Pan costume idea overmydeadbody. They're so simple but the DC love them! Amy x

Excellent website, simple ideas and printable instructions and pictures too.
We have made lots of things suggested on here over the years. My son particularly loves the star & stripe candles from loo roll!

Is a good site for easy things to make with stuff from around the house.
