Pre-School Crafts

Pre-School Crafts and Games

Check out our pre-school crafts and game ideas for the littles (or glittles, also known as grandchildren) you want to entertain.

You can let them sit on your couch with their tablets and phones and they’ll be perfectly happy. Don’t ask how we know.

But it’s so much better for their future to take the time to play a game or create a craft with them. Spare some of your time to gather ingredients and make. Most of our DIYs are easy on mess. Because this grandma doesn’t like to clean, either.

We also love simple and fast.  So you’ll feel that getting into a kid’s DIY doesn’t have to take your whole day.

Most of all, we believe in family fun!
