I need crafts for 4-6 yr. olds We charge money, (It's a school fundraiser), so they need to be pretty good. I've been doing this a couple years and have been throughmost of the kids craft websites. HELP!

Answer 1

If you go to the site below, they sell very inexpensive kits. Most only require clue to put together. They are really cute and very salable. At the site, do a search for " Christmas craft kits ".

Since you have already exhausted the kids craft websites, I'm assuming you've already done or ruled out the popsicle-stick frames and pencil cups, tissue paper vases, and painted rock paperweights type of crafts...

Everybody loves calendars! When my daughter was in Kindergarten, her teacher made calendars from the artwork the students did all year. Maybe the kids could do something like that. You can make year-at-a-glance calendars, where you only use one photo or art piece, so if you don't have the time or energy for twelve separate pages, it's another way to do it--it's just a larger piece of cardstock.

Another fun craft is paper beads. The kids really seem to enjoy making them, and with some colorful cording and a few plastic or other beads, you can make unique jewelry items without too much time involved.

When I was a kid, we made Mother's Day gifts from seashells and flowers. We glued silk flowers (small ones) onto oyster and other larger sea shells, to make soap dishes. They were really pretty cute and the flowers you can get today are much nicer.

I did a lot of other fun crafts as a kid, but most of what I can think of required either hot wax, sharp sewing needles, or weeks of learning a new skill like knitting or crochet. I hope you can get some ideas from these suggestions--have fun!

Last year in Cub Scouts, my grandson made a reindeer out of construction paper. First they traced around their foot to make the head. Then they traced around their hands to make the antlers. Add a red pompom for a a Rudolph nose and some wiggly eyes. Have fun!!!!!
