Tired of kids spending all their free time in front of a screen? Maybe you’d like to involve your kids in crafts but everything seems too complicated and intimidating. I can imagine that any kid (or adult) would be put off by a project that seems too sophisticated, and to be honest, it does take away from the fun of crafting!

Simple’s always better, and more so when it comes to crafts. And if you can make use of craft supplies you already have at home, even better! That’s the entire idea behind our recycled plastic egg alien craft for kids. Gather your leftover plastic eggs from Easter and create an army of cute little aliens for yourself!
