If you have a creative child around, there are many great craft supplies to keep them busy, and keep you worry-free. Keep the right supplies on hand, and crafting with your kid can be fun and help you build memories that can last well into their lives.
Shrink plastic is a kid’s craft supply that everyone needs to have on hand. It provides hours of entertainment with very little mess. Kids love to watch as their creations shrivel, roll, and shrink into tiny hard pieces for keychains, jewelry, and much more. Here are some fun ideas for your next shrink plastic project…
Kids love creating pieces of art that shrink up, but what do you do with the pieces after they have been completed? Turn them into personal soap gifts! Wouldn’t these look great in your child’s bathroom, or packaged up for a homemade Mother’s Day gift?

This is sure to be a hit with anyone of any age. It’s just simply the gift of wishes. It’s the right time to start collecting them, and stock up for the winter holidays, birthdays and just plain sad days. My daughter and I love fairies, she calls the puffy seeds of the dandelions “fairy wishes”. Just yesterday she found the first puff of the season and before she blew on it to send her wish out into the world we saved a couple in a tiny vial to give to her friend for her birthday. How adorable to give this tiny glass vial filled with wishes.

A popular trend in jewelry, the nest is a cute way for moms to show off their family. The mamma ”bird” wears her nest proudly displaying how many little ones she has at home. This project is simple even for the smallest of hands to make and they are great gifts to give.
To start this project decide how many “eggs” your nest is going to have. I did a one egg nest and a 3 egg nest , if you are going to need more eggs, use smaller beads. Read the rest…
