These DIY kid-friendly projects provide great craft ideas that the whole family can get involved in. Children get bored fairly easily, and nowadays many are glued to the TV and video games. Crafts are a great way to get them interacting and away from technology, while keeping them entertained at the same time.
Projects such as the creativity canvases and LED Party balloons, are great gift ideas that are affordable and sure to surprise the little ones.
Numerous blogs such as Brit & Co. and Cakies are filled with easy-to-follow projects and recipes that are great for parents. Social media sites such as Pinterest are great ways to connect with other parents, and meet new people who can share tips and ideas.
Do-it-yourself projects are not only fun to put together but also allow for some quality family time.
