Kids’ craft kits

I had first planned on making Aoife some craft kits for when Kirby was born, but ran out of time and energy at the end of the pregnancy, so decided to make them for the summer holidays instead. Whenever the crafting bug hits her (which it does quite often), she can just grab one of these from the craft station and get going without having to wait for me to prepare everything.

I basically just thought up some nice easy projects for her to make, trying to keep the supplies to things we already have in our stash, and prepared them as needed. Then I put them in some document wallets with poppers and left them on top of the craft station. No need to make it more complicated than necessary. The one above is of a little boat on the sea using scraps of felt and a toothpick.

I’m hoping to keep ahead of the game. She still has lots to do here, but whenever I have 5 minutes spare I try to prep another kit so she pretty much has an endless supply.
