& Crafts Activity Idea Tutorial CRAFTS MATERIALS YOUR KIDS NEED TO MAKE THIS CHILDRENS' ARTS AND CRAFTS ACTIVITY: * You may already have a cork board that can be repurposed for this project, and because bulletin boards come in various sizes and shapes, materials and instructions do not recommend specific quantities. Instead, instructions are given so that you may calculate materials needed to complete this project. * Fabric: To determine how much fabric you'll need, measure the cork portion only of the bulletin board and add 4" inches to the height and 4" to the width. Cut fabric to size. * Ribbon: To determine how much ribbon you'll need, multiply the width x height of the bulletin board in inches. Determine yardage by dividing that number by 36". (If it seems like a lot of ribbon - it is. The small board done in the photo took 5 yards of ribbon.) * Upholstery tacks * Spray Adhesive * Tools: o Scissors o Newsprint o Painters or Masking Tape o Office Stapler/Staples o Straight Pins o Tape Measure o Pencil or Chalkhttp://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidsartsandcrafts/kids-arts-crafts-theme/Wall-Hangings//fabric-covered-bulletin-board-kids-arts-crafts-activity-idea-l7921.htmlFabric Covered Bulletin Board Kids Arts & Crafts Activity Idea Tutorial CRAFTS MATERIALS YOUR KIDS NEED TO MAKE THIS CHILDRENS' ARTS AND CRAFTS ACTIVITY: * 12" x 18" x 1" Styrofoam® sheet * 16" x 10-1/2" Flowered fabric for front * 17-1/2" x 10" Flowered fabric for back * 2 strips 4" x 22" Green fabric for frame * 2 strips 4" x 10-1/2" Green fabric for frame * 2 strips 2-1/2" x 20" Batting for padding frame * 2 strips 2-1/2" x 10" Batting for padding frame * 4 strips 3/8" Violet satin ribbon 13" each * 1 yard 3/8" Violet satin ribbon for hanger * 4 strips 1/4" Purple satin ribbon 12" each * 2 colored coordinated quilting pins * Hot-melt glue gun * White craft glue * 1" Putty knife * Sharp pencil * Ruler * Cuticle scissors * Straight pinshttp://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidsartsandcrafts/kids-arts-crafts-theme/Bags-Cases//elephant-gym-bag-kids-arts-crafts-activity-idea-l7915.htmlElephant Gym Bag Kids Arts & Crafts Activity Idea Tutorial CRAFTS MATERIALS YOUR KIDS NEED TO MAKE THIS CHILDRENS' ARTS AND CRAFTS ACTIVITY: * 2 pieces approx 35cm x 30cm for the bag * 1 piece approx 20cm x 15cm for trunk * Felt 2 blue, 1 pink * Cord 1 ½ metres * 2 eyes * Padding for trunk * Scissors * Needle * Threads or can use a sewing machine * Fabric gluehttp://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidsartsandcrafts/kids-arts-crafts-theme/Picture-Frames//early-bird-picture-frame-kids-arts-crafts-activity-idea-l7910.htmlEarly Bird Picture Frame Kids Arts & Crafts Activity Idea Tutorial CRAFTS MATERIALS YOUR KIDS NEED TO MAKE THIS CHILDRENS' ARTS AND CRAFTS ACTIVITY: * What's New, Ltd.® Country Borders Fabric Appliqué (#72134 -

The younger generation seems to have rediscovered "their father's T-shirt" from the tie-dying craze of the 1960s. Everything that goes around comes around. Project: Tie-Dyed T-Shirt or Cloth CRAFTS MATERIALS YOUR KIDS NEED TO MAKE THIS CHILDRENS' ARTS AND CRAFTS ACTIVITY: All-cotton white T-shirt (or soft cotton, rayon, or silk fabric), liquid fabric dyes (Rit© will work, although experienced tie-dyers prefer Jaquard's Procion™ dyes), a large enamel or stainless-steel basin, a wooden spoon, rubber gloves, old towels, heavy mercerized thread, string, rubber bands, squeeze bottles (the kind used for applying hair dye work well) This can be messy, so work outdoors (a picnic table is great if you can manage it). Or create a table with two sawhorses and a piece of plywood. Wear old clothes. To get a clear pattern when tie-dyeing, the tying and stitching must be very tight and firm. An adult may have to help with this if you are working with a younger child.http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidsartsandcrafts/kids-arts-crafts-techniques/Collages//fabric-collage-kids-arts-crafts-activity-idea-l7739.htmlFabric Collage Kids Arts & Crafts Activity Idea Tutorial CRAFTS MATERIALS YOUR KIDS NEED TO MAKE THIS CHILDRENS' ARTS AND CRAFTS ACTIVITY: * Scissors, tweezers, liquid glue * 3 dishes * Old paintbrush to spread glue * Scraps of fabric that match your room colors or favorite team * Yarn, string, or ribbon * Something to do collage on, like an old tabletop, bed headboard, frame, or just a cardboard box * Liquid acrylichttp://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidsartsandcrafts/Books-Photo-Albums//making-books-with-children-kids-arts-crafts-activity-idea-l7729.htmlMaking Books with Children Kids Arts & Crafts Activity Idea Tutorial Creating books with your child is fun to do and can be as simple or complex as you wish. Some home-schoolers spend weeks creating professional looking bound books, but the process needn't be time consuming. If you like, you can simply staple sheets of paper inside a construction paper cover or use a small notebook, scrapbook, photo album, or three-ring binder with plastic sleeves. Print the story your child dictates (or let him print it himself) at the bottom of each page, then let your child illustrate the pages with his own artwork, photos, or pictures cut from magazines. Making a bound book with your child takes a little more time, but the quality of the finished book makes it well worth the effort.

Be sure to set your Kwanzaa table with these colorful woven designs. You can make a woven mat using red, green, and black raffia in place of the ribbon, or you might want to make a banner out of the leftover burlap. Remove some of the strands to make open spaces of various widths. Reweave the open part using twigs, flowers, weeds, leaves, and so on. Fringe the ends if desired. Fold the top over about 11⁄2 inches and glue with a glue gun to make a sleeve for a dowel. Tie a piece of cord to each end of the dowel for hanging purposes. CRAFTS MATERIALS YOUR KIDS NEED TO MAKE THIS CHILDRENS' ARTS AND CRAFTS ACTIVITY: * Two pieces of burlap cut into 18 x 12-inch rectangles * Scissors * Crochet hook or large yarn needle * 20-inch long strands of red, green, and black thin satin ribbons * Glue gun or tacky gluehttp://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidsartsandcrafts/Kids-Arts-Crafts-Holidays/Kwanzaa//magnificent-mkeka-kids-arts-crafts-project-idea-l7457.htmlMagnificent Mkeka Kids Arts & Crafts Project Idea Tutorial Straw is the material of choice when making a mat for Kwanzaa, but fabric is an acceptable alternative.
