Skip the precut crafts aisle and foam stickers and let your kids unleash their creativity! Here are some fun jumping off points for artwork that they’ll love. Hate messes? Do these outside at the park! Or just suck it up and let them get messy! We love making art not crafts for kids! Open ended activities with just a little guidance and supplies is the best way to do art with kids. No two projects turn out the same!

You’re welcome! It’s an awesome idea!
Thank you for these fabulous ideas! When I was teaching elementary school full-time, one of my favorite lessons would be sneaking in a fun art lesson. School curriculum is so crammed full that there is little time for such “frivolity” anymore. Now I’ll keep these ideas for my grandchildren. Love them all!
