Child Crafts

If you ever wanted to spend some time with you children, making something that you can both enjoy, try out our child crafts below.

A Paper Fan

To make a personalized paper fan, you will need
  • A bottle of glue or glue stick
  • Pictures of anything that you love and hold dear to your heart
  • 1 large straw fan.
Then you put the pictures onto the fan and paste them into the weave of the fan. You can also draw little pictures of fish and toys and stuff like bows and flowers all over the fan with a marker.

This is a simple child craft to begin with.

A Pinata

To make a pinata, you will need
  • 1 - 9" - 25" sturdy,empty helium balloon
  • Optional smaller balloons
  • 12" wide strips of newspaper
  • Decoupage glue
  • Sharp scissors
  • Candy or small toys for filling
Inflate the balloon and tying a knot in the end. You can tape several balloons together to create the shape you want your piņata to be but a oval is the easiest shape to work with. Carefully dip the strips on newspaper into the decoupage and gently lay it across the balloon working vertically until it is covered. Continue covering the balloon in the opposite direction horizontally. You can continue adding newspaper strips until the balloon feels solid and firm. When it is dry, use a pin to pop the balloon. Next paint the balloon whatever color you wish and embellish it as desired. Find a place where the a hole will not be easily noticed and cut three sides of a square to create a door that can be opened. Fill your pinata.

The game is played by blindfolding children and letting them hit the pinata with a stick or plastic bat. To insure that every child gets a turn we line kids up by age and only allow them 3 hits.
