Arts and Crafts

During this season it is important to activate our creative spirits as the daylight is shorter and COVID-19 has our families at home. Using household items can be the perfect way to start the creative process with your kids! Making a ring toss from paper plates to toss onto upright paper towel rolls, adventure journals from treasures found on daily walks around the neighborhood or spinners made from buttons and string are all great ways to engage with the kids at home. Setting up a station at the counter while you're cooking lunch is a great way for kids to learn while being involved in a fun process with a delicious reward at the end!

Whether you are bored out of your mind, need something new to try or are running out of ideas, take a fresh look at your household items and try to think of new ways to use them for fun activities and crafts. Don’t limit yourself to your craft closet, venture into the kitchen for Fruit Loop snack necklaces or outside to build an airplane from sticks and leaves! Anything is possible when you put your mind to it, let’s get creative Sand Springs!

When you and your family come up with a fun idea, share it with us on social media and include #wearesandsprings . We look forward to seeing your brilliant creations, happy crafting!
