My children love doing crafts. They really enjoy making the their own cards, drawing coloring, etc. Last week I found Crayola’s Youtube page and it was like hitting a craft lottery. We have already created several of their activities like their Window Window Holiday Card and their Doodle Book (that is what my kids call it, but Crayola named it a travel journal).
I really like these crafts because they can really be used with any materials you may already have in your house. The supply list may name several crayola products that you may not have heard of, but most likely you can modify the list easily even if you don’t have the product that is named. The crafts are simple and your child and watch and follow along, which will help teach him or how how to follow directions well.
