Arts and craft ideas for kids using household items
Looking for kid-friendly art and craft ideas? We have ten projects that you may complete with supplies you probably already have at home. Let’s start emptying the recycling bin!
These craft projects will take and transform all the recyclable materials you already have at home, and they’ll also keep your kids busy and amused for hours. They range from paper craft ideas to ideas for using up leftover toilet roll tubes to crafts for toddlers.
Here Are Ten Quick and Easy Arts and Crafts Ideas for Kids Using Household Items
1. Plastic Container Planters
Supermakeit is a brilliant Instagram account that’s full of ideas for easy crafting projects made using recycled materials. We like these plastic bottle planters, taking everyday items such as milk bottles and bathroom cleaner containers, and turning them into something much more fun.
2. Recycled Paper Craft for Fans of Coloring.
Print colouring pages for your toddlers and younger children using old work printouts that are waiting to be recycled.
By searching for “colouring sheet” along with the majority of topics, you can find colouring pages featuring popular characters or humorous patterns. Let the children colour them anyway they choose after printing them out on plain paper.
Transform something ugly into something beautiful!
3. Pom Pom Crafts Using Leftover Wool
Together with your children, you want to make pom poms. All you need is some old cardboard and any excess or unused pieces of wool you may have lying around your house.
Watch the video below to find out how. You may need to work with your child because this approach necessitates sharp scissors, depending on their age.
4. Make A Cardboard Box Camera
Do you happen to have a discarded mobile phone box? Make a cool toy camera out of it for your kid. You can even include more recycled items, such the “lens cap” from a ketchup bottle lid. Visit A Baby On Board to read this instruction manual for a cardboard box camera.
5. Create Elmer the Elephant Using This Laughable Milk Bottle Craft
Make this upbeat craft from The Imagination Tree with a plastic milk bottle and any leftover paper scraps if your kids are fans of the brightly patchworked character Elmer.
6. Nature-Themed Pinecone Crafts
Do you have a collection of pinecones that you’ve gathered while out walking? This pine cone pineapple is just one of the many kid-friendly craft ideas Baker Ross has to offer.
7. Construct a Set of Binoculars
Utilise all the extra cardboard tubes you have laying around the house while amusing your youngster. Create these toilet roll binoculars for your kid who enjoys the outdoors and animals. You can want to use paper tubes made from kitchen roll out of cleanliness concerns.
8. Construct Japanese Fish Kites.
Blogger for crafts Emma Scott-The Ladyland Craft Club, which regularly posts kid-friendly painting and craft ideas on Instagram, is run by Lee. We adore these Koinobori fish kites made from tissue paper and used toilet paper tubes.
9. Make a Recycled Robot
All toddlers adore robots, and with this enjoyable craft, you can create your own robot while also using up a tonne of recycling bin scraps. To learn how they did it, see this post on Day Out With The Kids.
10. Craft A Cardboard Play House
