Welcome To Dollar Store Kids Crafts

 Welcome To Dollar Store Kids Crafts



This blog is all about creating magic on a budget!  The majority of the projects and crafts on this blog are created with dollar store items.  Certain items, like scissors, glue gun, etc. may be items I already have access to and were purchased elsewhere.

I would LOVE to see your finished creations!  Show me what you're making, whether it's from one of my posts or videos, or simply a creation all your own.

Comment on the blog posts and videos to share your masterpieces.

Remember, crafting with kids is all about having fun and beating the boredom.  It's about letting them shine in their own creative way.  And, often, these creations are perfect as gifts for family, friends, teachers, crossing guards, day care providers, etc.

Most crafts are intended for children over the age of 3 due to choking hazards.  In some cases, where hot glue is used, I caution that adult supervision is recommended, but use your best judgement when working with children.

Above all else...

Have fun and keep it crafty!
