Morning everyone
I am having a hard time finding my creativity in this long, cold winter! I have 2x1 yr olds, 3x2 yr olds, and a 3yr old. I need craft ideas.
Also, I am seeking your opinion on what you prefer: I have done both types of crafts, the ones where I just give the kids some white paper and paints to let them make their own creation, or a glue stick and tissue paper, or a pipecleaners and some beads to string. The kids all enjoy this type of (mostly sensory) crafting.
Then I have the parents who talk about some crafts they have seen using just the child's handprint or footprint, and I fill in some eyes, a cute poem or saying, or whatever along the lines of this. I do these special crafts mostly for holidays as keepsakes, but is don't agree with doing this type of thing every day/week! A) it is a hell of a lot of time for me to do this for 6 kids' pictures and B) I don't think it is truly the KIDS' art! They just come to the counter, stamp their hand and go off so I can finish the rest!! Haha!
Any ideas on a happy medium craft that involves both the children's skill and is not going to be tossed as it is just a scribbling of smeared brownish paint!?
Tia!
