I don't have any, kids that is. But I once taught the little future adults and one common trait I noticed is that creativity runs rampant in their little heads. But, without some kind of direction, some basic tools, and a smidgen of tutoring, these little ones can come up with stuff that surpasses our expectations.
I found a nice site that supplies at least one part of the equation -- direction. If you provide the tools and that little bit of help, and let them have their way, the kids will come up with their own interpretation of crafting.
The site's called AllFreeCrafts.com. Check it out. You might even find something that sets your own inner child free.
I blogged about recycling crafts for children before and I'll probably do it again because in addition to remembering my teaching days, I also remember all the fun (and sometimes weird) things I used to make out of leftover scraps of useless material. (I once built a rather clumsy log cabin out of corn cobs.)
Nurture creativity!
