Kids' Art Projects

Our kids' art projects make it easy for children to create beautiful crafts all by themselves.

Here's a simple way for kids to store their collections: Accordion-fold a strip of paper, and glue the first and last pages to the inside of a box's lid and bottom. Keep some pages empty so the collection can grow.

On rainy days, let your children play Picasso by painting a fanciful pattern on a child-size umbrella.

Kids don't need fancy tools or techniques to put their stamp on a T-shirt; a potato will get the job done.

With an illustration of a skeleton as a guide, kids just need lots of dried pasta, white glue, and construction paper to assemble the pictures. We snapped some of the pasta in half and used alphabet-soup noodles to make labels.

Kids can decorate pencils by winding extra-thin tape around a plain pencil, painting it, and then unwrapping the tape.

With rocks, glue, and paint, kids can create a collection of all their favorite animals.

Kids can make a jungle by adding animal images out of magazines, rocks, grass, and sticks to a box.

With a couple of household items, kids can make their very own piggy bank.

Kids will love conceiving an ocean diorama that uses shells, toy birds, maps, and sand.

Kids will enjoy stamping apples dipped in candy-colored paint onto otherwise ordinary canvas tote bags and backpacks.
