Explore your kids' crafting skills at birthday parties

It is the fun quotient that makes people of all ages to look forward to parties, hence party throwers add more entertainment elements like dance, music, games, and so on to amuse their guests. Of all the means, the craft making remains ever popular especially in kids’ birthday parties. For those looking for some easy, quick, at the same time involving kids crafting ideas, reading this article would definitely prove to be useful.

Let’s start with games for younger ones! You would have toothpicks at home, but don’t forget to add in your cheap party supplies list because they are our main crafting tool. Also buy some marshmallows, if not gum drops would do. Provide your little guests with a bunch of tooth picks and some marshmallows, which are going to be the base. Instruct them to insert the toothpicks on marshmallows in any desired form or shape.

Though not experts in painting, kids would love to play with colors. Let them be on their own, and they would turn up with some interesting paintings. Hot road painting is really use and require very few essentials – plain paper, Tempera paint, some small match box cars, and paper plates. First spread the paint on the paper plate, let the kids drive the car over the plate, then on the paper. You can also try paint squirting for this birthday party. Finger paint paper, washable markers, spray bottle of water, and masking tape are required for this coloring craft. Spread the color on the paper in your desired form, stick the picture on the wall using the tape, and ask the younger ones to spry water on it. It is really fascinating to see the colors mixing and blending. These games are actually simple but equally exciting.

Now, check out some games for school-going kids. Bookmarks are easy to make and you can use things available at home. You surely would have a bunch of old greeting cards. Buy some pencils, erasers, crayons, and extra scissors. The artisans have to draw any picture, say a carrot or a flower, inside the greeting card. Cut the same shape, color it using crayons, now your bookmark is ready.

Paper chains are the best crafting choice for celebrations. You just need glossy papers of different colors and a scissor. Fold the paper diagonally, cut in alternate directions (but the cut should not reach the other end), and open the sheet. Follow the same procedure for the next paper too, and stick the two sheets with some adhesives. Hold the center of the sheet and gently pull out. Well down! Your paper chain is awesome.

Such cute, little ideas would definitely make your party engaging for children. Planning for a party next time? Try these games, I am sure you will have a blast.
