Let's Get Crafty!
This lens is all about quick and easy crafts for kids to make for the holidays. The projects here are for 3-7 year olds, though many can be changed slightly for older kids, and are designed to be easy on the pocketbook and require little to no supervision. These also make great projects to do at school, day care and after school programs with preschoolers and kindergarteners. For even more craft ideas check out the Holiday Crafts 4 Kids web site.
