Keep the kiddos entertained with this fun collection of kids crafts with the Cricut! Have a blast creating and crafting all year long with your family.
I’ve always drifted more toward making crafts for adults (gift ideas, home decor, etc.), but as my boys are getting older, I’m getting excited about all of the possibilities of making kids crafts with the Cricut! My boys are both fascinated with “dat machine,” as it cuts out fun paper and vinyl designs. They’ve helped me use my scraper to adhere transfer tape and they love watching me weed vinyl.
I think I’m going to tackle making a simple puzzle for them using Cricut chipboard and my Cricut Knife Blade—I think they’ll really enjoy doing Cricut crafts with mama! Need help using your Cricut? Enrollment to the Academy is closed, however, I now offer myCricut BasicseBook, which is a great place to get started!
In the meantime, I’ve rounded up a bunch of fun kids crafts with the Cricut—a lot of these projects are made for kids as well as some made by kids. I’m all for teaching kids to use this amazing machine to be creative!
