Do you or your kids enjoy doing arts & crafts? My daughters and I love doing all things crafty. We always have so much fun doing all kinds of projects and getting creative. My daughters have been doing a lot of crafts lately. They are homeschooled for the time being as well. That gives them more time to do all the fun arts and crafts they want to do. If you or your kids love to get crafty, I have put together a roundup of some fun craft activities that are out there. I hope that you will be able to find some fun activities listed here for you or your kids.
A Craft Party
These crafts come with extremely detailed instructions (they test them on people who proclaim to not be “crafty”) and everything you need to complete the craft. If you need to provide anything, it will be clearly called out in the instructions. Anything you need to provide will be readily available in your home.
They offer an assortment of crafts that appeal to a variety of audiences. Check back often, as they will frequently be adding new options.
This adorable hedgehog nestled in the flowers is just what you need to brighten your day. Create a realistic looking painting or use your imagination to create something more abstract.
Use our detailed instructions to reveal your hedgehog (and feel free to give him a little hedge-hug).
This craft is best for children 6 – 8 years old. Younger kiddos could do this craft with adult assistance.
Included in this kit:
- 8″ x 10″ canvas board with a hedgehog vinyl appliqué
- 3 foam brushes (various sizes)
- 5 colors of paint (red, yellow, blue, white & brown)
- Pick to remove stickers from canvas board

While a sloth moves slow, this craft is sure to move quickly to your heart as a favorite! Use your imagination to paint over the sloth appliqué and when it is dry follow the detailed instructions to reveal your masterpiece.

If you love painting, then you’re going to love these paintings. My kids absolutely love to paint, and these were perfect for them. They have been getting in to doing a lot of painting lately, so these were enjoyable for them both. I love that they have a lot of options to choose from too. We went with the hedgehog and sloth because my daughters love animals. It was a great choice for them. They’ve been having so much fun painting. I knew these would be wonderful for them. If you have kids who love to paint, I’d highly recommend these for them.

TTYL Game Pack
Remember the good old days when you’d be sitting in class playing tic-tac-toe during history class with your desk mate? Or when you spent your afternoons after school invested in a really tricky crossword puzzle? Or when you spent your sleepovers giggling with your friends over a ridiculous game of mad libs? Yeah, us too.
So, they created a collection of our favorite paper games from childhood! At TTYL, they believe in the power of human connection, and these games are the perfect way to connect with friends and family. Go back to your roots with these easy and nostalgic past times for your next game night.
What’s included in this digital game pack?
– Tic-Tac-Toe
– Hangman
– MASH
– Doodle page
– Mad Libs (x2)
– Crossword puzzle
– Coloring page
All of these bring back a lot of childhood memories for me. I played all of these as a child. My daughters are now playing all of these as well. MASH was a more recent one my daughters have learned. They have been playing that one a lot. It’s fun to look back at some of the games that we played as kids and share them with our own kids. I love being able to share stuff from the past with my daughters. It’s even more fun when they enjoy them as well. This pack was perfect for our family. I would highly recommend this to anyone with kids. I think they’re going to really love this pack as much as some of us did back when we were kids. I know I sure enjoyed these and so did my kids.
