Easy Homemade Arts and Crafts

Share & Comment

We love mixing up homemade art materials in our house. By making the materials first, we add another whole dimension to our arts and crafts activities. I’ve noticed that kids have just as much fun making them as using them. And, of course, homemade is a frugal and often environmentally friendly alternative to many commercial art materials.

With that in mind, I put together this roundup of 35 homemade art materials that kids can make (or help make) that encompasses everything from glitter paint to DIY stamps, feelie goop to salt dough. Some are from The Artful Parent and many are from around the web. Enjoy!

• Gak (also known as Flubber) on The Artful Parent
• Feelie Goop (also known as Oobleck) on The Artful Parent

That’s the end of my roundup, but I’m sure there are some other great homemade art materials posts out there. If you know of a good one (yours or someone else’s) please feel free to share in the comments!
