Crafting is more than using scissors and glue, it’s about spending time together, being able to mess the house and nobody gets a shouting because the whole family is involved in messing, creating and cleaning. These companies offer crafting supplies that are safe and easy for the whole family to use.
1. Sculpey Polymer Clay
Sculpey Polymer Clay is one of the best clays to use because it has the best colors and features. They also offer clear liquid. Do you want mom or dad, or your kids, to have something the whole family is proud of making? Molding clay for a keychain is a great choice.
The keychain market size is $18,5 billion and will continue to grow. This means using a keychain is still trendy for school bags, house, car and office keys. Plus, you can customize yours as a family. Everyone can choose and mold their favorite shape or animal. Now, your clay is ready to be baked until it hardens, and there you have it — family fun and lifelong keychain ornaments!
2. Crayola Washable Paints
Crayola has made painting on the walls, fabrics and outside the lines a pleasure because you can just wash it right off. This washable paint is non-toxic and comes in several colors like neon, glitter, and classic. It’s safe for children, washes off their skin and is available in squeeze bottles so you keep the mess to a minimum.
Art is linked to positive academic outcomes and social development, but creating it should not be stressful. All you need are paintbrushes for everyone, washable paint and some old stained T-shirts for a family bonding session. While you’re waiting for the paint to dry, everyone should get involved in cleaning up.
3. Slime With Elmer’s Liquid School Glue
Elmer’s Liquid School Glue offers more than an easy-to-use craft supply that can easily be washed off surfaces. It’s also one of the main ingredients in do-it-yourself slime. The glue’s non-toxic formula reacts with activators to form stretchy, pliable slime.
Slime is more than a fun, squishy toy to make. It’s a method to get your creative side flowing. Playing with it is also good for stress relief, as it helps you focus on what’s happening in the moment.
4. Target Beads
Target offers a range of beads and accessories for the family to create. The DIY Bead Kit for Bracelet Making & Friendship Bracelets is the ideal craft to make in family time, and it’s for girls and boys. This craft is recommended for older children to avoid toddlers swallowing hazardous parts.
This Mondo Llama kit lets you create and make matching accessories for yourself or loved ones. You can buy the accessories in store or have them delivered to you to save time. There are more than 500 pieces of beads, clips, cords, rings and threads, so there’s enough for the family!
Crafting Memories, One Project at a Time
At the heart of every craft is something more special — making memories with loved ones. Whether you’re shaping animals or ornaments with Sculpey, splashing paint onto t-shirts with Crayola, making slime with Elmer’s or crafting friendship bracelets with Mondo Llama at Target, each project gives you a chance to bond and laugh with family. You don’t need to be an artist — you just need to have a creative imagination and be prepared to try something new.
