The Boy's Store Blog — Kids Crafts

Valentine's Day is over and now St. Patrick's Day is coming up fast. We are already thinking ahead to crafts all month long. With little kids at home still, we find that the best way to entertain is to give them lots of arts and crafts projects. My youngest boy loves a great arts and crafts project, and since he is the last baby we love to make little projects with him to enjoy the last of the fun activities with kids. This month I am collecting ideas for St. Patrick's Day. My little man loves rainbows, so this is...

This year we are making special keepsake ornaments for the grandparents. My kids are at that age where they are still small, but in one more year they will be practically grown children.
