Crafts on a cold weekend…

It’s an unusually cold July weekend we’re having in Ontario. I thought it would be a fun weekend to try tie-dye with my tot & a neighborhood friend. To refresh my memory on the how-to’s, I turned to my good friend youtube.com

What a plethora of inspiration! I found many great links to fantastic kid crafts. Most that I vaguely remember making once, but need a reminder!

I hope you find them useful. Of course, I haven’t tried them all (yet!), and some may turn into a kit sales-pitch, but have a browse if you’re looking for inspiration too:

Tie-Dye (long, in-depth instructions)
Paper Flowers
Making Paper
Felting
Make Play-Dough
Make chocolate Play-Dough!
Make Silly Puddy
Tissue Paper Flowers
Make a Volcano
Make a Puppet
Make a Balloon Butterfly (this guy has lots of videos of balloon things)
Make a Fortune Teller
Make a Doll Cradle
Paper Airplanes
Clay Dinosaur
Gorgeous 3D Paper Snowflake
Birdfeeder from Milk Carton (a classic!)

If you know of some youtube craft videos I’ve missed, I’d love to see them! I think this is a great way to learn or brush-up on a long lost skill!
