It’s summertime - the kids are on vacation from school… and they’re bored! What’s a fiber-aholic to do?

Why, get them crafting of course :-)

I’ve got a few different kid’s crafts in the Tangled Thread archives, so I’ve pulled some of my favorites together for you.

Hand-painted t-shirts.
Create a bouquet of felt flowers.
These sewn projects would be great for an older child or teenager.
I’d recommend painting instead of embroidering these felt sweethearts if you’ve got younger kids.

There are more great kids crafts from other bloggers in the Lifestyles channel too!

Paint your own soccer ball from Play Library.
Make your own play clay from Hankering for Yarn (I’ve used this recipe for years and it’s great!)
Be creative & Earth-friendly with a recycled doll house from Tree Hugging Family.
Use egg cartons to make caterpillars with Inside Motherhood.

Happy crafting!
