Just in case you need a few extra craft ideas for kids! These are all no-mess (or at least low-mess) craft ideas that will entertain your creative kids! I love easy crafts for kids, with a quick set-up and lots of creative opportunity! So here’s a list of Amazon (affiliate) links so you can order some kits and get crafting in a few days from the comfort of your home!

1. Ed Emberly’s Thumbprint Drawings Book – These are so fun to make. Also pick up a set of different color ink pads while you’re at it!
2. Origami – Paper folding has a therapeutic effect, which we all need right now!
3. Paint by Sticker Books – Just like paint by number but instead of paint you use stickers!
4. Scratch Art Rainbow Pad – Who doesn’t love a scratcher? These are colorful and fun!
5. Blank Animal Masks – Two projects in one – first color them in and then play!
6. Rock Tumbler – This is a long-game craft – it takes a days or longer, but it is something to check on and look forward to! Polished rocks are always a thrill!
7. Letter Bracelet Kits – This doubles as a great way to practice spelling! I used to love making these as a kid, and you can even have your kids make them for friends and stick them in the mail!
8. Round Glass Cabochon Bracelet Blanks – Have your child create a picture on a little circle of paper and then create a custom bracelet! Be sure to pick up the jewel glue, too.
9. String Art – You may have the supplies you need for these already (wood, nails, string) or pick up this little kit and make some string art!
10. Yarn Needle Punch Kit – These are so cute and would be fun home decor for a kids room or a nursery. This is best for older kids or even you! And oh my heart, there’s a llama version!
11. Acrylic Paint Pens – Ooh these pens are cool! No more paint mess and they can be used on things like rocks!
12. Decorate a water bottle – This bedazzling kit looks easy and useful!
13. Pipe Cleaner Crafts – Make shapes and more with pipe cleaners! I love these because there is NO mess and they are just fun to play with. You can also have kids create numbers or letters with the pipe cleaners for a learning activity.
