Tips for doing crafts with kids

Know the child's ability. The "level of difficulty" that is given to our crafts is only a guideline. Younger children may not find the "easy" crafts challenging, or vice versa. Keep this in mind when you're working with a group of children.

If possible, do the craft ahead of time. If your just doing this at home, don't bother. However, if you're a craft leader for a group of children it would be helpful to have completed the craft ahead of time. Even though the instructions and pictures are clear, there is no substitute for actually doing it yourself.

Make room for creativity! The instructions to make these crafts are guidelines, feel free to substitute materials or change the directions to suit the child(ren) and allow for individual creativity.
