About the time my son turned 5 he became interested in “drawing” realistic pictures, etc. So I would provide some themed paper shapes and get him started on a mural. I’d leave it up and he’d add to it over a 3 days to a week. It still is a popular activity.

They very much like to explore…and they CAN think logically about most things…so I was more willing to provide my son with a whole “palette” of paint colors, paint tools, etc and let him explore on his own. We turned them into mobiles, used them for scissor practice, collages, cards, etc.

This age still loves sensory—shaving cream play…making and playing with playdough…water and rocks, etc.

I know those aren’t “easter” ideas and not necessarily crafts but maybe it will help trigger ideas for your child. Have you asked him what he would be interested in doing? The local library will have craft books he can browse through, computer games he can check out, etc.

Have fun!

Holiday Craft Ideas

There is rarely a better time for doing crafts than the holiday season. In fact, any holiday is perfect for craft making, it doesn’t matter which it is. The holidays can be used as your inspiration and motivation for getting creative, especially when it comes to gift giving. There is virtually no end to the things you can produce with the right materials and ideas.

Cards have got to be the most popular of all easy at home crafts. Any kind of paper can be used to make a card but construction paper works best. Any other sturdy material can also be used. Markers, paints, glitter and gems are just a few of the things you can use to decorate your card nicely. This is a perfect task for very young children to get started in crafts.

Many people are so concerned with the gift that they do not take the time to focus on the gift box. Decorating a gift box is a fabulous way to add some flare to it while increasing the delight of the recipient. Cards can actually be folded into a small gift box with just a few folds. Try searching online for step by step instruction if you should require it. Paint balloons on a birthday box or snowflakes on a Christmas gift box. The smallest touch can add a lot of personality.

Window painting makes a fun holiday craft for any holiday. Stick with the theme by using paints or spray made for window crafts. Be sure it is this type so that you know it will wash off after. Paint pumpkins and witches for Halloween or pretty pink hearts for Valentine’s Day. This type of activity is fun for adults and kids so why not do it together? It’s a good way to spend some quality time as a family getting ready for your favourite holiday.

For Valentine’s Day, try making a love bug for that special someone. Cut out a large heart from pink or red construction paper. Use a different piece of paper, usually a black or brown one, and cut it out in the shape of a bug body like that of a butterfly. Glue the body on to the heart so that the heart becomes the wings. You now have a love bug. Decorate the wings however you like.

Hanging ghosts are an easy favourite for Halloween. All you need is small white treat bags or an old sheet you can cut into large squares. Stuff the bag with anything from paper to leaves to fill half of it before tying it off. The untied portion should hang loose and the tied part becomes the head of the ghost. Draw on a face or spooky words for additional décor.

Holidays are fun for so many reasons. From painting Easter eggs to making your very own Christmas ornaments, the holidays are wonderful for bringing out the kid in everyone. It doesn’t take much to get creative. Start with the right materials and don’t allow yourself to be limited.
