Doing crafts and DIY projects with your children has many benefits. It encourages them to explore their creativity, can boost self-confidence, helps hand-eye coordination and it’s fun, too. Here are some ideas.
Birdhouse
A fun, long-lasting craft project for your child would be building a birdhouse or feeder. This can also be a great opportunity to teach your child woodworking skills without the task being too time-consuming or overwhelming.
Lego Table
If your child loves LEGO, then creating a specific space for that may be helpful – or if nothing else, save you from stepping on LEGO pieces in the middle of the night. You can do this by building a LEGO table.

Jewellery Box
It’s common for kids to have too many things and too little space. A good project to help lessen that particular issue would be building either an organiser or a jewellery box together. It may sound intimidating, but there are many tutorials on YouTube to help guide you through it.
Crocheting
Crocheting is another great project to get your kids started on. Not only is it relatively calming, but it can provide them with a lifelong skill if they keep practising.
Looking into crochet kits to find the one that best suits your family’s needs is important. There are many avenues to look into, from Amazon to crochet kits from Wool Couture, or even going to a local store.
Terrarium
If you want to help your child discover the joys of gardening, a terrarium may end up being the ideal project for that. They’re relatively easy to build and don’t need much to maintain them.
Toy Storage System
If you and your child are feeling ambitious enough to take on a bigger project, try building a storage system. This is both fun and practical as it’s the kind of project that can last as your child grows. It can be used for storing toys, sports equipment or trinkets.
