Tips For Doing Arts & Crafts With Kids

1. Don’t present one firm example of how the craft should turn out. Either don’t present an example at all, or present several options, so your child knows he or she can use their imagination.

2.Look for crafts that are age appropriate and play to your child’s strengths. If the craft is complicated, break it into steps and figure out which ones your child can do.

3. cover surfaces with newsprint or butcher paper to catch bits of paper and glitter and drops of glue. Use materials (adhesive, markers, etc.) that are washable.
