Kids are fantastically creative and adore craft. I have always loved seeing the creations of my very own children using NZ shop bought items.
Here are a few ideas that kids can have a good time with :
1. Create your own lip gloss. By adding kool-aid granules with Vaseline, you can create a couple of flavours of lip gloss. Melt the Vaseline in the microwave. Try it 30 seconds at a time. Mix the kool-aid and microwave another time, again thirty seconds. Mix and then allow to cool. Once its cool enough to touch, move the Vaseline into its last storage container and allow to cool down totally. You won’t find these at any NZ Shop.
2. Don’t purchase wrapping paper and gift tags from your NZ shop. Rubber stamps can create the most superb wrapping paper and gift tags. We use both ink pads and also pens on our stamps. The white shiny wrapping paper and gift tags can be acquired through a paper supplier. We really buy small cards and then punch holes in them, for present tags. With corner punchers you create excellent outleines on the gift cards. We also like making cards with rubber stamps.
3. Candy trees. Commence with a pot. Paint or decorate to your taste. Put foam in the base of the pot. Now build the plant with an assortment of candy, wire and sticks. You may add paper flowers. Use hard candies or chocolate kisses to cover the foam.
4. Teens love to create clothing. Sewing fabric onto the base of pants, or the pockets of pants can make plenty of fun.
5. Teens like to scrapbook. My own daughter can infrequently take enough stills in 24 hours for a complete album. They can scrapbook any activity or club they belong to. They can also take pictures at sports games and scrapbook those. The ideas for a teen and a scrapbook are endless at a decent NZ shop.
6. Knitting and crocheting. You can find thousands of free patterns on the internet or at your local NZ shop. Youths can make everything from bears, to boxes, to clothing. With string, rather than yarn, you can make bedspreads and desk decorations. With rug yarn, you can make a rug for your rest room or lounge.
7. Notice boards to hang on the NZ shop wall. My daughter loves her notice boards. Buy a straightforward wood frame board. The frame can be painted or decorated to the kids liking. Photos or poems or maybe homework can be put up on the bulletin board once complete.
This is simply a small subset of the various craft you can suggest to your Kids when next at your NZ Shop .
