Family Gift: Go Ahead, Get Messy!

At our house, we’re not afraid of a little mess. We pull out the playdough, finger paints, and clay with zeal. I’ve noticed though that not all of my friends hold my love of a messy craft. Although the kids totally love it, at times the clean up can seem a little daunting for the parents.

It’s nice to embrace it though, my friends – because creative kids are worth the mess. So, go ahead, get messy! This DIY kit is meant to spark a little creativity and maybe a wee bit of mess too. Embrace it!

Items Needed:

-Basket
-Smock (if you’re feeling crafty, you can make our 1 minute one!)
-Crayola Washable Fingerpaint
-Crayola Marker & Watercolour Pad
-Crayola Super Sparkle Glitter Glue
-Playdough Party Pack
-Water Colours
-Paint Brushes
-Quick Dry Modelling Clay
