Have you ever tried crafting with a three year old?

June 30, 2010 by Minnie 1 Comment

It’s, um, how to say this nicely… ANNOYING. It’s annoying if you are actually trying to accomplish anything and totally adorable as long as you have no specific goal. I give Jack paper, glue and pom poms all the time but if ever I want to make something for him I usually do it while he is napping.

I saw this book, Making Stuff For Kids, on Amazon the other day and added it to my wish list. It looks like it has good ideas of crafts to do WITH kids and craft you can make for your kids. including a backpack pattern, I think. I need that one since I foolishly donated all my tiny backpacks last year.

Independent Crafters Information

On the Indie Crafts section of CraftGossip I like to support other indie artists by posting tips about running a handmade business, blogging and other helpful information. Once a week I try to feature handmade shops to showcase their work. I also like to share trendy, popular DIY's that I think are amazing and hope you do as well. If you are an Independent Artist or want to start a handmade business, this is the place to find resources. Or if you just love DIY's and everything crafty I hope you'll find some fun projects to make and be inspired by the artists I feature!
