Summer Crafts for Kids

Shell Suncatcher Craft

20th July 2021 by Kate Williams Leave a Comment

This shell suncatcher craft is perfect for summer and with some help can be made by even young children (my kids started making suncatchers when they were toddlers). Shell crafts are always popular (after all who doesn’t love a pretty shell?) and you can make this craft using our free shell template too.

We’ve made lots of suncatchers using cellophane but I think this might be our first tissue paper suncatcher. Both materials are fine to use and as you’ll see this can also be a good craft for using up any scraps of crafting materials that you have.

Butterfly Nature Craft

15th July 2021 by Kate Williams 2 Comments

Looking for a simple but sweet nature craft to do with your child? My daughter and I had so much fun last week making these sweet butterfly nature craft! It was a great excuse for us to spend some time together out in the garden looking at all the plants and deciding which were our favourites.

We both made a butterfly craft and it was a really nice activity to spend some time together. Using things we found in our garden and our free butterfly template also mean that that was a really cheap activity too.

This is a great activity for practicing using scissors and is a great way for using up any old scrap paper too.

Make this fun and easy shark craft using cotton buds to make a cool painted dot effect. Perfect as a shark week activity, as part of an under the sea theme (or, eeek, maybe a beach one?) or just because sharks are awesome.

You can draw the shark yourself but why not make this easy to prepare and use our free shark template. All you’ll need is paper, access to a printer and a few simple materials that most of us have already at home.
