Kids Party Crafts
Kids party crafts are an excellent activity for a kids party. Kids love to be creative and are proud to create artwork. Not only is this a fun activity for a kids party, birthday party crafts typically take up a good chunk of your party time. And remember your main goal at any kids party is to keep the kids busy! Keep these few simple tips in mind when doing kids party crafts. 1) Let the kids do their own work. What you may think is a mess, may be proud art to a child. Not everything they create will be a masterpiece to you, if the kids are proud of their work that's all that matters, 2) Be encouraging. As long as they are following the process the end product is irrelevant. Following directions is an important skill but coloring in the lines is not, 3) Instead of asking what is it ask the child to tell you about it, 4) Remember to put plastic down for easy cleanup and if you have a lot of hands to wash pass around a bucket of water which is quicker than bathroom time for each child.
Kids Party Crafts Chocolate Paint Have the kids create artwork using chocolate as finger paint. Use milk and white chocolate. To allow for multiple colors dye the white chocolate into a variety of colors using food coloring. Take Polaroids of each child. Set up a crafts station and allow the kids to create trading cards using their photo. Provide card stock. Have the kids paste their pictures to the card stock and create their own stats. Just like a real baseball card.
This is a great craft for any animal party such as a safari, farm animal or jungle party. You will need sealed envelopes and provide markers, pipe cleaners, buttons, cut out felt ears and anything else to make animals. Using the backside of the envelopes have the kids create animal faces using the supplies. Have the kids create fun objects with straws. You will need bendable straws, tape, and paper clips. Cut the straws to different lengths and cut a slit at one end of some of the straws. Insert straws into each other to form desired shape. Paper clips can be used for angled joints by bending into S & U shapes and inserted into the straws. You can also use pipe cleaners to make objects as well. Girls love jewelry so why not create your own! You will need toilet paper rolls, construction paper, a variety of dried beans, sequins, scissors, glue and paint. Before the party you can paint the beans the color of jewels and let dry (ruby red, turquoise blue, onyx black, etc.). If you'd rather not paint, then skip this step as the craft will still be loads of fun. Step 1) Glue the construction paper to the toilet paper rolls, then cut the rolls in half or thirds depending on how wide you want the bracelets. Step 2) Cut a slit in each roll to enable the kids to wear the bracelets, Step 3) Have the girls glue the beads and sequins to their bracelets. Let dry and they're ready to wear!
Make decorative headbands! You'll need plastic headbands, decorative items such as bows, ribbon, sequin, buttons and hot glue. Have the kids map out how they want their headbands to look and then glue the items on. For younger kids hot glue the items on for them. Create a birthday banner! You'll need large poster board, markers, glitter and anything else you can decorate with (feathers, ribbon, stickers). Allow the kids to decorate, draw on and sign the poster board to create a giant birthday banner or card. Have the kids make their own favor bags! You'll need paper bags, markers, stickers, glitter and anything else to decorate with. Have the kids decorate their bags. Keep checking back for more Kids Party Crafts!
