Answer 8

Here are some basic craft supplies: Kids safety scissors, Kids glue (stick & liquid), Construction paper, Crayons, Paper plates, Paper Bags, Popsicle sticks, Stickers, Washable Markers, Pom-poms, Pipecleaners, Double-sided tape, Wiggley eyes, Glitter, Beads, Yarn, Newspaper, Macaroni

Û° Play-doh. You can buy it or make your own.*

Û° New toys. Kids love getting to play with new things, so bring  a couple of your old Barbies or dolls with you every time. It's like get a special new toy every time you come over. (or go out and pick up some dolls/barbies/toy cars at the dollar store).

Û° Make your own pin-the-tail on the donkey (or pig or bunny). Each kid can have a certain part they make and than you can all play afterwards.

Û° Coloring books. And crayons. Pick up a super pack of crayons at the dollar store (or 5 small boxes so each kid can have their own) and a coloring book for each kid.

Û° A Treasure Hunt. You can make pirate hats** with the kids and than go on a clue filled adventure, complete with map, to find the treasure.

Û° Sock Puppets. Use stuff from your craft kit to add to single socks that are going to be thrown out. Afterwards you can have a puppet show.

Û° Make a kite, than go fly it! I'd suggest doing all of the prep-work first and than just getting the kids to decorate the kite. You could easily do this on a rainy day, and than when it's nice out bring the kite back to go fly it for an afternoon of outdoor fun.***

۰ Games like “Simon Says,” “Hide and Seek,” or “Marco Polo” are fun outside and if you're careful about not breaking things, inside too.

Û° Make instruments with the kids and put on a concert.****

- Many parents will also offer to reimburse you for the money you spend on crafts for their children. Just be sure to ask them first to make sure you have a mutual understanding.

- Yard sales and dollar stores are great places to pick up toys, games and craft supplies for cheap!
