Connection to Kids and Family With Crafts and Activities

Let’s face it– you are really busy, aren’t you? You might feel like it is a major victory if your kids go to school with matching, clean socks. You get home at night and all you want to do is order pizza and snuggle on the couch with your kids to watch The Disney Channel. But perhaps you have a nagging feeling that you are missing out on all the ‘good stuff.’ You know what I mean. You see all the fun activities your friends do with your kids. Whenever you are brave enough to venture onto Pinterest, you get overwhelmed with all the possibilities and you feel, guilty. You feel a sense of loss.

If so, I have great news for you! You don’t have to miss out. I strongly believe that busy Moms, and in particular working Moms, can still do fun activities, including arts and crafts, with their kids. A few years ago, I started doing crafts with my daughter and we have since made so many great memories together. Our crafts haven’t always been pretty, but they have been a blast. And would you like to know the best part? Almost all of them were easy enough to do after dinner on a weeknight. So, if you are looking for quick and easy crafts, I think you might find some inspiration here, and in the process build priceless connections and memories with your kids.

Check out this resource of over 100 fun and easy crafts for kids.
