I need interesting art and craft ideas for 6-7 year olds. I do stuff with my son and I'm running out of ideas. Can you help? What do you do with yur kids?

We've done a couple of animals in origami. But he doesn't seem too interested in origami:( I guess I'll have to start smaller stuff first.

Try letting him sketch a picture of what he is seeing.

Thanks. But he does that all the time. I've got sheets of his sketches all over the place. I've filed the really good ones.

I do not have any kids... or planning to have any in the near future.. BUT.. i am an art student... there are planny things you can do with your kids... if you go to an art store.. now during xmas break you can atually buy KIDS plaster.. and do different kinds of xmas decoration and then paint those xmas decorations... you can tell them to draw their own christmas card for Santa... you can show him how to do photo phrames with construction paper... you can show him how to do collages... or also buy thick wire and make him do little figures or objects... you can buy wood pieces and making build something just by using glue.. there's thousands of things... of course.. some of them should have adult supervision... Good luck with your son!!!

We've done the decorations and santa card last year. We've done a couple of collages too. Photo frames is something we've never done. I guess I'll try that this year. Thank's a bunch.

I don't have any children but I enjoy crafting with polymer clay. Making Christmas ornaments with it is a lot of fun.
