I am sure you understand these benefits . The point is that kid crafts really makes a big difference in our daily lives! In my own family, now we do a project of some kind nearly every day and everyone is happier!

As parents, we want the best for our children and will do whatever it takes to give them the best life we can, but do we have to do kid crafts?!?

Doing kid crafts, especially with toddlers and preschoolers has always seemed like such a pain in the neck . It's too messy, hard to organize, and really not worth the effort until they got a little older. But with the right approach you will find that doing these types of activities really makes our job as parents so much easier!

Once you find age-appropriate projects that work with your children and get yourself organized, the parental benefits started rolling in...

• The kids argue less among themselves and with you
• Discipline becomes easier and less necessary
• Kids play together better, even developed their own little games
• You as parents do not have to constantly entertain them anymore
• Older children will start helping more with the younger ones and may even extend their sense of responsibility to other chores
• Kids will become easier to handle when you go out

Totem Pole - Give children a kitchen roll middle and a pot of glue and bits of paper to stick onto kitchen roll - one colourful totem pole - very popular with the children because it can stand up afterwards and they can "display" it.

Mock Mosaic Flower - Draw a simple flower outline on a piece of construction paper for the child. Glue pieces of colored paper, yarn, feathers, buttons, or whatever you have on hand inside the outline of the flower to make it three dimensional.

Flower Garden - Draw an outline of a few flowers, trees, etc. on a piece of construction paper and let the children complete a simple flower garden using supplies from your useful box. When done, the pictures almost look like mosaics. Older children can simply draw the stems of their flowers and fill in the rest. Younger children will need a bit more guidance to get started.

Scrap Hats - Create any kind of hat or headband you want and then let the kids go with the scrap box. They will have a ball decorating their hats.
