Making something new and learning new crafting techniques keeps them busy when the weather won’t cooperate and they have to take a break from the great outdoors. We always find, however, that some crafts make for especially great “crafternoons” because they keep the kids a little more amused for a little longer than other things do.
DIY puppets are the perfect example of what we mean! Not only can our kids make something from scratch and get hands-on, but they can also spend hours playing with the craft afterwards! There’s just something so satisfying about making a new toy and then continuing to use it later rather than just hanging it on the wall and being done with it.
