I was so excited to see that Martha Stweart had published a book filled with craft ideas for kids! I had been collecting her magazines that had ideas for children, but I was pretty sure that I had missed some of the issues, so I was thrilled to find that this book had them all in one place! My favorite book as a child was the "Childcraft Things to Make and Do" and I have never found anything that comes close to it over the years. This book definitely does and even exceeds it and I love all of the great ideas for kids, whether it is making button bracelets or beach blanket board games! My kids have already picked out their favorite ideas and since it is Summer, we're going to try to do them all. I think that it is a treasure trove of fun, engaging and creative activities for kids!

Ok, it's summertime. School is out. Or it's a rainy day, a day home from school, something where boredom threatens to break out and create havoc. What to do with your kids to keep them busy and engaged instead of parked in front of a DVD? Here are 175 different craft projects that work for even some of the youngest pre-schoolers.
A lot of these crafts are things I used to do to amuse my younger siblings or teach kids at church or when babysitting. For example, one project uses potatoes to print a design. The twist on this classic way to block-print on fabric or paper is to use a COOKIE CUTTER to make a shape out of a potato slice! Now, I never thought of that. I used to cut shapes into my potato using
linoleum cutter tools but this is easier and safer. If you use your imagination, you'll realize that the cut end of a bunch of celery, which you probably toss out into the compost heap, makes a rose-like print when used in this way.
Other projects: growing Epsom salt crystals, making a toy service station out of cardboard sheets, construction paper and boxes (I used to do this for boys when I baby-sat), cooking Rice Krispie treats and shaping them into critters, and much more.
You can see most of these won't require much more in the way of supplies than you probably have at home (maybe some fabric paint and other craft supplies, and you can even find these at yard sales.)
There is of course, a macaroni-art project. Just one, but it's practically a requirement for Crafts 101!
