: Martha's crafts for kids

What to do on a summer's day when the weather doesn't inspire you to go for outdoorsy activities? Why not organize a little arts & crafts workshop for your kid(s)?!

Now, my Lilia loves drawing and painting, but at 2 years old she is still a little too young for most of these lovely crafts tips I found on Martha Stewart's website. I can't wait to introduce her to them, though! They all look so fun to do, it honestly brings out the child in me. Martha Stewart has the best crafts ideas, for all ages - including grown-ups! Wouldn't you just have LOVED one of those books within a book when you were little? 

Check out all the creative things you can do together with your kid(s) here.

Here a few of my favourites:


APPLE-PRINT BAG: Apples aren't just for eating.
Turn them into stamps to create graphic prints and make
a simple tote-bag or backpack simply stylish!

RUBBER-BAND MESSAGE BOARD: Find the How-To here


PAPER TOPS: Easy-to-make and great fun for the little ones!


FLIP BOOKS: Teach your kid about animation through first-hand experience! 
I remember these types of books from my childhood - loved them!
Like making your own little movie!

CLOTHESPIN PINWHEEL

ORIGAMI ANIMALS: Super cute - and fun for both kid and parent.

CARD GARLAND: Easy-to-do, fun and decorative!

ENVELOPE COLLAGE: Decorative and super-duper smart way for kids to get
organized once they hit the age where they collect all kinds of bits and pieces
that might otherwise easily end up in a pile somewhere.

HAPPY CRAFTING, GUYS!
