5 Summer Holiday Craft Sensations for Your Kids

The summer holidays are almost upon us, so now’s the time to have a few great ideas up your sleeve for when the kids get bored. Crafting is the perfect way to spend quality time with children while they enjoy the fruits of their labour creating something wonderful.

Here are 5 great crafting ideas to help your kids come up with some fridge-worthy items!

1. Paper cup lamb craft

Transform the humble paper cup into something delightful. This is the perfect way to spend a morning. The best thing is, you can create a whole flock of lambs with your little ones and because they’re so easy to make! A perfect crafting introduction for young makers.

2. Paper roll animals

If a flock of sheep aren’t tough enough for your little Leonardo, then how about a whole forest full of paper roll animals! Monkeys, elephants, crocs and lions can all be crafted with ease. For extra mileage, you could learn to make an animal a day with your little one.

3. Fairy garden

For something slightly more complex, we’d recommend the fairy garden. It’s great for outdoor crafting in the summer sun, and when the sun goes down, you can turn on the little fairy lights and you’ve got a brilliant new garden feature! Thanks to My Frugal Adventures for this one.

4. Shaving cream rain clouds

What could be easier than this glorious little craft? Teach your kids about mixing liquids in this fun little shaving foam experiment.

5. Stick Airplane

Keep your kids entertained with these brightly painted stick airplanes. They don’t fly, but your children will have a lot of fun whizzing them around in their hands pretending they do!

All of these can be crafted outside, and while your little ones should be encouraged to spend some precious time in the sun, don’t forget to keep them protected. Click here to see our kids sun care range.
