Need Some Inspiration?
Being stuck inside doesn’t mean you can’t have fun! Here are some art activities that can be done from anywhere with basic art supplies, and supplies from our Art Kits -
Paper Crafts
These fun activities range from very simple sea creatures to master level works of art. Try the simple angel fish or biting shark for beginning kids or the classic paper crane for older teens.
Advanced Paper Crown (Ages 9 and up)
Molding Clay
We had some of our friends at Color Outside the Lines make these great creations to help give share some inspiration! Give something like this a try with your own creative flare and see what you come up with.
Create A Mosaic
Create your favorite animal or imaginary friend!
Make some abstract and miniature sculptures -
Try these cute clay bug projects. The clay caterpillar requires only a couple of colors and very simple shapes while the snail might require a defter hand to make the eyes and spirals.
Clay Plant Crafts
More advanced crafters might want to try their hands at these adorable clay cactus plants in pots. Each cactus will require a minimum of four colors but the end result is an adorable clay plant that anyone would be proud to have on their shelf.
Make your own harmonica
Recycled Animal Habitat
Ask an adult if you can use clean recycled cardboard, washed-out yogurt cups, and any other safe recycled material. Gathering and cleaning the materials is the first part of the activity! Next, decide what animal you want to make a habitat (home) for! Then do some research on what that animal’s habitat looks like. Is it underwater? On land? In the trees? Underground? Shape your “found objects”- recycled material to fit the habitat by coloring, gluing, taping, and shaping it together. The last step is to create the animal and find a happy spot for it to sit (or stand) in the habitat!
