Teaching crafts to kids is so much fun ! Kids are so eager to learn and so enthusiastic. At the moment I'm teaching a class of 10 children, ages 7 to 11 once a week. Sometimes it is a challenge to find crafts that appeal to all the ages, but the internet is a tremendous help ... I even think I couldn't do it without .... Pinterest ! I find so many ideas and tutorials on Pinterest .... it's almost addictive ;-))
If you are interested in ideas, you are welcome to follow my board 'Crafts for Kids' on Pinterest. Below are some ideas and pictures :

Each week I try to teach the kids a new technique ... once in a while the project might take two weeks ... however, the kids don't seem to get enough of making macramé friendship bracelets ... they keep asking for more...... and next week will be the third week we'll be making friendship bracelets ;-)
When we were sewing the 'owl' felt bookmarks, one of the kids suggested to play the 'silent' game ... and as they were 'silent' and quietly sewing I couldn't help but chuckle and think ... if anyone enters this classroom they'll think they have been catapulted back into the 19th century ... 10 little angels at a desk, quietly sewing ;-))
I believe that kids nowadays are not only interested in computers, TV and games ...some of them still love to do crafts as much as I used to do when I was a kid ;-))
Happy crafting ;-)
