Have just placed my bi -annual ribbon order, and as always, get a strangely excited feeling about it all. What a craft dork I am. – by sydneypicnic (Nat and Si Thomas)
Question by juniperflux32: Does anyone know about “Primitive” crafts and dollmaking?
I’ve also seen items called “grungy” crafts. I’m interested in learning how to make dolls, ornaments, and other aesthetically-pleasing decorations for different seasons and holidays that look not quite brand new. Any advice on how to start or where to begin?

Contact the Museum of Arts and Crafts in New York City. The museum is relatively new, but has a vast representation of local, primitive or folk art virtually representing every movement and era in this country.

My daughter is in kindergarten and her step father and I are both soldiers. It is very important to us that she learns about what Memorial Day means instead of just a day off school… except that I don’t want to focus on the deaths of soldiers and scare her so how do I approach such a sensitive meaningful subject lightly? any suggestions about crafts would be great too!!

My daughter’s school is having an art night, and I would like to have a booth. It’s geared towards K-5, but for more complex things it can be limited to the older grades. I believe that the max. amount of time that a session at each booth lasts is 30 minutes. I’m in need of several ideas. If it’s teaching them how to do something different artistically (rather than just a craft) it would have to be something they can do hands on. Thanks in advance for any responses.
There is a great art program at my daughter’s school. This is just another way to celebrate how important art is. They do several themed things throughout the year and this is just one of them. Being an art teacher I would hope that you could use your expertise to help me rather than make assumptions.
By the way a lot of the booths are run by local art students and all the art teachers from the district participate as well as parents who have art related degrees. My booth well be one of the less important ones. There are booths that are more involved and those that are intended to be the filler in between.
What about making prints onto blank cards or shirts? Is that a bad idea?
Stay@home…you’re not at all on the wrong train…….keep em coming. I don’t need this today I’m just anxious to find a bunch of ideas and then have the luxury of choosing one out many.

This year I am a craft leader at my church camp and I need projects which will be enjoyable for everyone from age 6-14. The theme is Joseph from the bible, if that helps any.
If you can could you please include a link to the site if they are sold in kits.
I would also appreciate just homemade crafts which you might have done as a child and found very interesting.

Children and art seem to go together easily. At a young age, children will start drawing without any prompting at all. They just find a pencil or crayon and start doodling on whatever material is available. Unfortunately, too many times the adults around them make the mistake of stunting the development of their love of drawing because they believe a few common myths associated with arts and crafts for kids.
Myth 1: Real artists are born not made.
While there’s no arguing that some people just have an easier time mastering arts and crafts for kids, that doesn’t mean everyone can’t improve their art skills. Your child may not be the next Picasso but he or she can enjoy the wonders of drawing and of using imagination to capture a whole new perspective on the world using nothing but some colored pencils and a sketchbook.
Some people try to discourage their children from drawing if they don’t seem to have this so-called natural gift. But that’s a disservice to the child who can still enjoy and benefit from these arts and crafts for kids.
Myth 2: Art has no practical value.
One of the most damaging myths of today is the idea that nothing useful can be gained from arts and crafts for kids with the exception of keeping little ones from getting into trouble and for giving peace. The truth is that research now indicates that’s not the case.
With arts and crafts for kids, the future benefits can be enormous even for children who don’t pursue artistic endeavors. By working with arts and crafts for kids, children can improve their fine motor skills, eye hand coordination, dexterity, patience, attention to detail, and other assets. They can also learn how to be creative which is a skill now recognized as vital to intelligence, problem solving, and business success.
When you give children arts and crafts for kids, you give them the tools they need to unlock hidden potential which, sadly, may not be cultivated into today’s standardized test crazed school systems.
Myth 3: Art is either right or wrong.
In the world of arts and crafts for kids, there is no such thing as right and wrong. If you are allowing a child to be free with his or her imagination, you can’t impose rules on the creativity. If a child draws a pink cow, the art is not wrong nor does it necessarily mean the young artist has no concept of a cow’s real color. Such examples from arts and crafts for kids should open up a dialogue about the meaning of the produced art and the inspiration for the unusual color choice.
Myth 4: Drawing is only for children.
The truth is that most adults, including those who are parents, could benefit from enjoying arts and crafts for kids right alongside their children. Most of us could use a little boost in our creative juices and a chance to let our imaginations run wild, at least temporarily.
Smalltime Child offers a great selection of arts and crafts for kids in addition to Toddler Toys. Check out our arts and crafts for kids today!
