Although this website generally is geared towards adults and teens, you certainly will find kid friendly arts and crafts projects here too that families with younger children all can enjoy together. I have grouped some here for your convenience. Just take a look at these!
Make Homemade Candles
Here is a "no heat, no melt, no mess" method of candle making that is safe for children and lots of fun for all! You will be amazed at how quickly you can make lovely pillar and tapered candles using beeswax sheets. See
Bees Wax Candles

Beeswax Taper Candles.
Make Scratch Art Placecards
Make scratch art placecards using special paper and a pointed wooden stick (be sure to supervise children!). Just scrape away the black coating to expose lots of fun colors beneath!The place cards in the photo are for Halloween but you can make yours for any occasion you please! For instructions, see
Halloween Placecards.
Paint Plaster Christmas Ornaments
Use water-based acrylic paints to decorate preformed plaster ornaments.Personalize them to make Christmas place cards and party favors. Wipe up paint spills easily with a damp cloth or paper towel. No turpentine needed! See
Plaster Christmas Ornaments
and
Christmas Party Favors.
Paint a Paper Mache Ornament
Ready-made paper mache ornaments are fun and easy to paint and decorate. They are available at craft supply stores and come in various shapes. I see them stocked year round at Michael's.Use water-based acrylic paints for easy clean up. Add stickers or glue on jewels. The photo to the left shows a heart-shaped paper mache ornament I painted and decorated for Valentine's Day, but you can make your ornaments to display for any occasion you wish.

Valentine Ornaments.
