Since the pandemic, we’ve been locked into a corner of our houses, set in the same boring, old routine with work, sleep, take care of kids and family, and so on. We have a million tasks to deal with at hand and yet, it’s even more difficult for our kids to cope.
They now stay inside the house instead of going out to play with their friends; they can’t run around and deplete their energy.
This makes them channel that energy at home, which becomes somewhat hard to handle, especially on top of that work checklist piling up. To encourage our children to be happily engaged in activities for long hours, we’ve prepared some creative crafts for you.
And we promise it’s easy. All you’ll need are their regular school supplies along with some glitter, crayons, glue and paint to let them work through their creative mind. Eager to know how? Read on to find out.
1) Tattoo Patterned Supplies
Have a printer at home? Use some tattoo paper to get your mugs, vases and pen holders patterned with tattoos. Or if you don’t have a printer, mix and match the small stickers that come on sticker sheets. Get the tutorial here.
