Things to Make and Do, Crafts and Activities for Kids - The Crafty Crow

Rain Cloud Mobile

I think this colorful rain cloud
is so sweet! Visit Dallé Un Coliño
for a free printout to make your own.

Quilted Watercolors

Visit Preschool Daze to see all the
ways they had fun with "Q is for Quilt" -
my favorite are these quilted watercolors!

Beastly Bunting

I love the method of creating
this beastly bunting at Se7en!

Blossom Painting

Musings From Kim K. shows
how easy it is to make this
spring blossom tree picture.

Cross Stitch Cut-Outs

I think this idea of making cut-outs
from cross stitch patterns by Karen Barbé
is so interesting and something kids
would enjoy. You could also cut patterns
from used (or unused) crossword puzzles.

Submission Call Out!

I thought I would let everyone know
some of the themes I have coming up so
if you have projects that you think
would fit you could send them to me.


In March, The Crafty Crow will be
celebrating crafts from around the world
and I'll be featuring guest bloggers
and their tutorials from a wonderful
assortment of countries and cultures. If
you have crafts, activities, games, or recipes
that you think would fit this theme please
send them to me and put "submission"
in the subject line.


For April, it's all about recycling!
I'd love to see all the ways you use
recycled items to do crafts and have
fun with your kids.


Does your child collect something?
In May, I'd like to feature your child's
collection. If they don't collect anything
maybe this will be the motivation to get
them started :) Remember, a collection
begins with only three items. Check out
this site for some great inspiration!

I always appreciate well photographed
projects with a simple background. Email
me here and please put "submission"
in the subject line. Thank you, I can't
wait to see what you've got for me!!

Olympic Masterpieces

I can't get over how lovely
this artwork is and amazingly
simple too! See how to do it
at Create Town. This same
idea would work for other
images as well.

wheel cupcakes at Clean Mama.

Print A Cloth Doll

Shoe Gnomes!

I wish I knew about this when my kids
were younger because it is such a cute
and practical way to keep shoe pairs
matched up! Found at Bluebirdbaby :)
