10 Indoor Crafts for Kids

It's that time of year again, school is back in session and soon the weather will be getting colder. This means the kids are inside more and you'll need more indoor activities. Here are 10 crafts and games that I have done with my 3 year old over the past year that have yielded many a fun afternoon.

Kid Craft: Plastic Fork Painting

Here is a quick and easy art activity for kids that I have seen bouncing around Pinterest recently. All you need is plastic forks, spoons, etc..., paper or paper plates and kid friendly paint. The art teacher in me really liked this idea because it gives kids the ability to create art without it having to look like anything and therefore they are freer and more creative.


I did this with my 3 year old, I think she might have been a little young for this because she got bored a little too fast, but she still had fun while creating this art. If you want to try this with the little ones I think its worth a shot, but I think 5 to 7 year olds would really have a blast creating art with plastic utensils.
