When trying to entertain children it is important to have some cool and interesting craft projects. DIY craft projects can keep a child entertained for hours. These DIY projects are fun and easy to do. They are not too messy and if there is a spill and a need for carpet cleaning, it's not as bad as it may seem to have done.

Homemade Slime

This is a fun and easy craft to do that will keep children busy for hours. They can mix the ingredients for the slime together and all of these ingredients are easy to use. Children can select their own coloring using food coloring. Instead of purchasing slim this craft is easy to make.

Turning Okra Into a Stamp

A child can have their own stamper and make flowers using okra. An adult will slice the okra end off of it. The okra is then dipped in an ink pad and can be used to make flower stamps on pieces of paper. The stamps are pretty and this takes no time at all to set up.

Crown

This crown is made from an old toilet paper roll. One end of the roll is cut into spikes to look like a crown. The crown is then painted and allowed to dry. Children can then use them for dress up or to play pretend.

Erasers

Children like all different kinds of cool and colorful erasers. The crafted item Sculpey can allow a child to make an eraser out of this clay-like substance. They can mix up the colors and make the shapes that they want. An adult will then bake it in the oven for around 20 minutes. Once the eraser cools for a couple of minutes the child can play with it.

Custom Bracelet

A child can customize their bracelet in no time. A hard plastic bracelet is painted with nail polish. The children can make all different kinds of designs and customize it the way that they like. Nail polish only takes a couple of minutes to dry and then this craft is complete.

Lego Tissue Box

Even if a child is not feeling well they can still have some fun and do a simple craft. A regular tissue box is painted any design a child likes. They then add old buttons or bottle caps on the top to look like Lego pieces. They are painted too. This will make a sick day much more fun.

Custom Candle

A tall candle can be a fun craft and a child can design it themselves. Metallic duct tape or duct tape with another design is then wrapped around the candle. This is a great craft to do for family members near the holidays. An adult can then burn the candle even with this new design.

Tie Dye

There are a number of ways that a child can do a tie-dye project and make their own customer shirt. There are tie-dye kits that have everything you need to make custom items. An adult can set up cups of food coloring for this project. Natural dyes can also be made from foods such as beets to give a deep color. This will allow a child to make their own shirt, hat, or other items with a tie-dye design. They will wrap the item up with rubber bands and put them in different color dyes. Once things dry they can check out their design.

These are some simple and easy DIY craft items for children. They are simple to make and adult supervision is required even though these crafts are safe. They are easy to make and the children can play with them in no time.
