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

a passionate recreation coordinator by day, crazy farm mama of two by night. i live outdoors: growing my own food, camping and hiking with my border collie with two active kids in tow. when I’m not writing, I’m experimenting with recipes, and crafts – or anything else that might keep the monkeys entertained.
I’m loving this series of baskets you’ve been making! What a terrific idea for the whole family.
Thanks Heather, it’s been a blast!
Looks like a basket of fun to me! 😉
Me too 🙂 Glad there are some other mess makers still out there.
What a fun gift! It is the gift of time as well as the gift of creativity and I guess getting super messy but with a purpose! Love it!
Thanks Thea, making messes can be fun!
great gift idea for families with kids’
