I love to bust kid boredom with crafts (keeps them busy and off screens n’est pas?!). Here is a round-up of 10 Crafts For Kids which will keep kids busy. Each of these 10 Crafts For Kids is inexpensive and encourages recycling things around the house. See my notes below on age recommendations…

Love the school bus craft! Thanks for these!
The school bus craft was a hit. And a good conversation starter about where to sit on the bus, where the driver sits, the windows, doors, wheels…
Love crafting with our daughter. The little angel is cute and i remember this time of year doing similar to make little ghosts. 🙂
I love the popsicle stick craft idea. I use to do this as a kid. Must try this with the grandkids.
