Here are a few DIY crafts for kids that grabbed my attention this week…

These rolled newspaper forts are a super fun way to recycle your old newspapers. Head over to Modern Parent Messy Kids for the tutorial.

Here’s an adorable kid’s plate that even the novice illustrator can pull off with ease. A perfect gift sure to bring smiles all around! Visit Say Yes To Hoboken for the tutorial.

These paint dipped pencils by Tokketok are the perfect craft to get your child into back-to-school mode. Simple & lovely!

I’m totally in love with this DIY painted wooden ball solar system by Pintalalluna. The wooden balls add a nice touch of realism to the planets.

Happy crafting!
