crafts for kids?

[binny]

What kind of crafts do you do with your kids? ( Or wish you did lol) My kids are 8,4,and 3 ( soon to be 5 and 4 ) and Im trying to think of things to do with them that we would all enjoy... Any ideas?

Mine used to like salt-dough.
Cheap n easy.....
they would make models, whatever one day.....then i would cook it (dry it out) and they would paint it the next day.

also good for range of ages as they play to their ability.

Crayola model magic is great stuff. It can be shaped into anything and then dried. DD used some to make beads for a necklace. Another idea is to get a box for each child (empty shoe box works) and then have them turn it into a treasure box by decorating it (paint, markers, glitter etc) any way they want. Besides family fun also check out oriental trading company. They have a lot of crafts that you can order as kits or get the supplies at another store.
