There are many benefits to doing crafts with your kids other than keeping them entertained or from getting bored on a rainy day.
Crafts can help develop your kid's creative side, improve their dexterity, help develop their concentration and commitment, and prevent boredom, which can easily drive you and them crazy.
Learning what your kids enjoy doing, and having crafts on hand at all times that relate to those interests, will ensure that you never have to hear "I'm bored" again.
Don't know where to start? Following are some ideas that you can easily start doing today.

@nightbear thanks so much for the positive feedback which I really appreciate :-)
beautiful page, I love all the detail. Makes for sure to have a successful time crafting with your kids.
These are all fun crafts for kids. I love messing around with art projects with my grandkids. Painting is always a favorite.
I made candles when I was younger, but I've never tried soap. That sounds like fun! (And I don't even have any little kids to share it with!)
Thanks that's very kind of you.
I made soap when I was younger. I wish I'd been able to try the ice balloon too, but mum would never have let me! I was encouraged to read and write about what I read, which I guess is a craft of its own... *grin*. Article worth the wait, will definitely be pointing parents in my circle to it when they need inspiration.
