If you’re looking for arts and crafts for kids that use Mod Podge . . . you’ve come to the right place! Some of you have come to the end of summer – and some of you aren’t quite there yet. If you aren’t quite there yet, don’t worry, the kids are going back to school soon! Ha.
It just so happens that I picked 20 of the most fun craft ideas for kids ever. They all use decoupage medium, of course – which is perfect for children because Mod Podge is non-toxic and safe for them to use.
Before I jump into the projects, I wanted to share some tips for crafting with children. We have a most extensive post about it, but here are the basics:
Tips for Successfully Crafting with Children
Prepare the area. Cover the floor table with newspaper, or if you are using paint, then a plastic sheet works well.
Put kids in the right clothing. An old t-shirt, backwards dress shirt, or smock works well.
Make sure you have the right craft supplies. Read labels to make sure your kids’ craft supplies are truly safe for the littles.
Let them have fun. Don’t worry about what they are doing as much as if they are having a good time. These projects will guarantee that!
Be present – no electronics. Set the phone aside for an hour or two so that you can fully engage with the kids.
Prepare your children for the end. When the end is near, give them a warning like “15 minutes until cleanup time.” Then they won’t be upset that you sprung it on them.
