As a parent, have you struggled to find creative ways to engage your child during holidays? Have you put off crafting with kids thinking that you really need expensive materials to make “Art”?  When Lil p was a toddler, she was fascinated by the touch and feel of everything that she came in contact with. If it was soft she cooed, if it was slimy she giggled, if it was pricky she touched gingerly. if it was cold she was awed. As a kid too she loved tearing up pieces of paper and that kind of started us on our Artsy-Craftsy journey. In fact, some of our most loved projects have been making stuff with colored papers & glue. Over the years we have added some more stuff like paint, sequins, cotton, wool, well every material that we could lay our hands on to our Art projects. Since its, the holiday season, check out

What skills will my child develop through Creative Play, you ask?

While it’s tempting to leave all the ‘messy’ creative activities for your child to do at school, there are so many skills they can learn by having the freedom to do them at home, and developing a love of creative process will set your child up as a creative thinker in all walks of life. Even at a young age, creative activities help to develop Intellectual skills such as geometry (size and shape), measuring, and sorting. There is also a great deal of problem-solving and concentration involved in making a collage. . Not to mention, making a paper collage also develops fine motors skills in young children.

    Great post Shruti! Good ideas to keep my daughter busy during the X’mas hols coming up in ten days. This time I think I’ll get my one year old on to some basic tearing and crushing paper activities too, lest he disturbs his sister’s all important crafting 🙂

      Ohh! We love tearing and making a mess. I’d suggest putting a large bedsheet on the carpet and tearing and pasting with a glue stick .. Once you are done, just gather the ends of the bedsheet and pick up the mess! .. That’s my #1 tip with crafting with kids.

    I love these ideas. There are a variety of projects and at varying levels… all are pretty creative.

    PS. I’m less worried about the skills the kiddos learn, and more concerned about FUN and enjoyment.
