GetCrafty Craft Facts

If you are a parent who wants to spend more time with his or her kid and have fun together, then you could think about making some crafts. You will not believe how many crafts there are available and how easy it is to make them- you need just some materials which you probably have in your home and follow the instructions given. By making creative crafts you will develop your child mental and physical skills as they are both put in use while making a craft.

If you find it difficult to think about crafts which you could make with your kid, we are here to help you. What we are going to do is to give you instructions how to make a couple of crafts which are very easy but fun-to-make also.

Here is an idea how you can make a puppet craft of different animals. What you need to do first is to draw the head of the animal you would like to make a craft of. It could be everything: a dog, a cat, a tiger, a lion, fish and so on. Make sure that you draw on a piece of thick or construction paper so that your animal's head is stronger and more stable. If you find it difficult to draw the animal's head by yourself you can download templates and print them on a thick piece of paper. After you had cut out the template, you will need to draw eyes, mouth, whiskers (if it has) and whatever else you want. You could use either marker or a pencil for the purpose. If you would like to make your puppet look more interesting, you could also glue a couple of wiggly eyes. Then just glue the head of your animal to one of the ends of a straw. You already have a puppet craft and when you make some more, you could even make theater plays.

We are also going to tell you about a leaf craft which is loved by all kids. They find it as a magic leaf drawing and have a lot of fun while doing it. All you need is to find a beautiful and big leaf and then cover it with a piece of paper. Give your child crayons and tell him or her to crayon on the part of the paper above the leaf. Suddenly, the image of the leaf will emerge and your kid will be very happy with the result he or she achieved.
