Summer camp craft activities are inexpensive and can be easy to find. Many parents want to keep their children busy this summer and here are some great summer camp craft activities that you can use for them or their friends.
Many parents of tweens may be wondering what to do with them during the summer break. They are in between teenagers and children. Too old for the traditional and too young to drive.
Here are a few ideas for quick summer crafts for your tween!
1. Get artistic and decorate a journal for them to write down their summer experience. You could use beads, glitter, fabric and puffy paint.
2. Scrapbook! Create a book that documents your family vacation and fun hangouts with friends. To save some money, you could use magazine cut outs.
3. Try something new with yarn – crochet! It can be very simple and you can find a pattern for making cool bags. If they love it, it will entertain your tween for hours.
4. Tweens love jewelery! Friendship bracelets are super popular among the tween set. They also take hours to make, which is good for you. All they require is embroidery floss. You can also try creating beaded jewelery. You can find sterling silver wires at your local craft store and enjoy creating your own necklaces and bracelets.
5. Create decorative containers for your next BBQ. This is a traditional summer camp craft activity. Cover coffee cans with decorative fabric for some utensil holders.
6.Start a garden! This provides hours of work and entertainment. Kids can have fun selecting the seeds for flowers or vegetables. Once the flowers come up, you have the opportunity to try your hand at flower arrangements. Kids also eat more vegetables when they grow them.
7. Candlemaking is a fun activity to try. You can purchase beeswax texture wax sheets and wick material at your local craft store. Candles are chic and way cooler if they are homemade.
Summer camp craft activities are a great way to keep tweens busy during the long days of summer. You don't need to spend a great deal of money and they can become time consuming enough that you don't hear complaints about their boredom.
