What can I get the kids to do at Arts & Crafts party?
Need inspiration, my 7 yr old is having an arts & craft birthday party and I’ve thought of making paper plate face masks, but now i’m stumped. What would you suggest doing that would take up 30 mins?. INSTRUCTIONS TOO PLEASE as I need direction! Best answer 10 points!
Oh there is so much you can do!
Finger paints on construction paper
Sidewalk chalk
PAINTING ON CANVAS *my favorite* (can use anything from fingers, brushes, to sponges and leaves, rags or any old cloth, and even food as utensils :p)
Popsicle stick sculptures (while eating popsicles too :p)
Making tie dye t-shirts or other cloth items
Bracelets and necklaces with beads
Sock Puppets
Anything that is really messy will be wonderful, and don’t worry about the clean-up! Let them get good and dirty with everything (request that their parents bring a change of clothes that they don’t mind getting stuff on). It will help boost their creativity.
For more advance things to do, you could always go with using clay for models and painting. You’re definitely on the right track with doing masks, I remember making them when I was a kid. My son is 6 and he loves to finger paint. I have a collection of useless buttons, plastic gems, pins, strings, you can buy a lot of these items from places such as Hobby Lobby or any craft store. Finger painting on canvas and using odd items as accessories with it can be very rewarding to their creativity, and it gives them something to take home and show their family, which is also rewarding in it’s own way.
I hope you have a blast and happy birthday to your child.
