My kids LOVE Halloween crafts - or any crafts for that matter. Me? Not so much. I don't like having to gather all the supplies and I reallydon't like the mess.
I do appreciate the creative gifts that my kids have so I want them to enjoy some fun crafts, especially around the holidays.
Quick & easy crafts are my compromise. The kids get to be creative, and I don't have to waste a lot of time, effort, or money! Win!
What's a non-crafty mom to do when she has craft loving kids? Provide quick & easy crafts of course! #Halloween #kidcrafts Click To Tweet
