Welcome to our craft links , a subcategory of our main art links page.

Not all parents are crafty, but sometimes having a craft activity can add some fun into a day or a particular study. Crafts are also great things to do "with" your children while building some special memories. The links below might help you find a few things to make or do for a variety of ages.

Crafts are a great activity to work on while mom reads out loud and they help channel some of the energy that our kids usually have more than enough of.

If you don't know where to store all your completed crafts after you're tired of seeing them on the fireplace mantel for the 5th week in a row here are a few suggestions:

• Take a picture and then TOSS it out!
• Give it to grandparents (and let them throw it away, haha)
• Buy a plastic tub to store projects in
• Put up a "special" shelf in your child's room to display the latest treasures
• Give completed items away to an elderly neighbor or take some as gifts for residents of a nursing home
  

Have fun creating!

Craft Creations
Free high quality craft projects from a magazine publication. These are "back-issues" that you can download as PDF's. Most of the crafts are only going to be appropriate for older children, teens and mom because of the difficulty level. Very nice stuff.

Danielle's Place of Crafts and Activities
"Welcome to Danielle's Place! We believe learning should be fun. This site is dedicated to teaching children through crafts and activities. You will find hundreds of inexpensive crafts and activities for children. Most of the crafts and activities on this site are Bible-based and are great to use in Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, preschool, and home school. "

Many of the crafts on this site are free. There is also Bible curriculum and other fun activities. You'll have to weed through the projects to find what is free vs. what isn't, but some of the crafts are so cute, they are worth it.

DLTK-Kids Crafts
Lots of crafts available including toilet paper tube crafts. Although the many of the activities are geared for young learners, you may find some gems for the early elementary crowd too.

A variety of crafts and projects with a multitude of categories as well as project ratings (easy, medium, hard).

Tea Bag Folding
If you haven't discovered this neat craft yet, take a look! It's something mom can do with older or dexterous kids! I've listed other sites directly below that have "tiles" to tea bag fold.

• Rosemarie's Teabag Tiles
