So cool to have found your blog!

Since my little ones are only 1 and 2, we don't do a lot of crafts besides coloring and playing with play dough, but I love the knitting kit at Warm Biscuit. Maybe I can teach my little girl when she is 5 like my mom taught me :)

Oh, these boxes are so cute!
Mostly we draw together as a family. My husband is an artist and draws on everything, so that's trickled down to the kids. He's also teaching our four year old daughter to use some basic hand tools, so she's good with a hammer and screwdriver. He's also teaching her to use files and chisels, although only under close supervision. We also like to bake together, which can feel like a craft project sometimes!
i love to make play dough and we love to finger paint!!
The kids love play dough! We don't get to craft together very often, but they help me with Christmas ornament gifts we give out every year! We'll be crafting more when we get back into homeschooling and when the holidays roll around! Thanks for the chance to win!
We love playdough, construction paper animals, and lots of paint projects!
We love to gather things from nature outside and then make collages out of them.
I'm an art teacher (on maternity leave though) so I love to do almost everything with kids. My own child is too young yet, but I already have a kids easel for him!
I'd love to try the pinhole camera that you sell, since I haven't experimented with one of those yet.
I've also got your button on my blog
My kids love to glue and collage with "junk" (basically things that should've seen their way to the trash.. bottle caps, bits of ribbon, etc). I also have a door in my kitchen painted with chalkboard paint, we love the chalkboard door and so do guests.

Right now, my daughter loves to draw so the crayons always seem to be out. She makes a point for me to draw a cat on every piece of papaer she has, must be her favorite , huh?
I love their kite making craft! We do crafts when the feeling hits us. Usually it is about what we are studying in school. We have made collages, Christmas crafts, clay models, but mostly crayon art!
Our current favorite is doing leaf rubbings and making collages!

We usually just break out the washable paints and make pictures. My daughter is finding her artistic abilities yet.

We do lots of stenciling on fabric, and then use fabric markers to color the patterns in. This is great for tablecloths, aprons, etc.

I am trying to teach my daughter to bake and make candy for Christmas -- does that count as a craft?
I'm a photographer and have a darkroom in the basement. The kids love making photo collages and blowing up photos! I would love the make the Pin Hole Camera with them. We've always used oatmeal containers!
Um, we are not a crafty family, sadly. Which is why I like to buy crafts, lol! We can do painting and homemade playdough and the like, but that is pretty much the extent of it. Oh, and sidewalk chalk! I can handle sidewalk chalk. ;)
I love the Look & Cook Cookbook at the warm biscuit site!

My son loves anything messy. So, I have him help me cook and bake alot and just get his hands in and help. I also like having him paint outside whie the weather is still nice on the patio windows and then we use the hose to wash it away and he just loves it. Thanks for the chance to win!
We love play dough and coloring. Finger and foot painting is a close second.
Scrapbooking & then just general kids crafts that you can find at the craft store.

Hi, I like their new version of "Nite Brite!" When I was young, I could only do one side. I see you can create more than one thing on this version. Love it! We bake as a family; especially during the holidays. We also make various candies as gifts. Our favorite family activity are games. Pleas enter me in your handmade box giveaway drawing. Thanks very much.....Cindi

My kids are big on painting. Of course, we do it outside, so I can hose everything including the kids down. I try to save as much of their artwork as I can. It's too precious!
Thanks
We don't do much crafting as a family (yet), but my two-year-old loves to cook!
We like to make hard candy, especially around the Holidays.
We enjoy crafts of all sorts. On our agenda this morning is to finish a jewelry "box" using a sturdy egg carton & all sorts of pretty paper, ribbon & plenty of sequins. Fun & functional! AND we cannot say enough about Warm Bisquit! I love their fabrics - love it! Thanks for hosting!
AND I'm headed to GraceFULLDays.blogspot.com to blog about your giveaway right now! Thanks for the extra entry!
A craft we like to do together is taking old lamps and painting them and adding beads to them to give a wore out lamp some up to date style and personality. We also do scrapbooking and declopoging items to make them unique, like bookcases, desks, endtables.
photoquest(at)bellsouth(dot)net
SInce my son is only 6 months old we don't really do any crafts, unless baby food on his highchair counts as finger painting! LOL
I do, however, like to collect rocks from places Dexter visits for the first time. I like to paint them and write on the bottom what makes that rock special. I just made one to help celebrate his first swim in Lake Michigan.
I love these cute trinket boxes! THANKS

My 2-year-old loves to color, play with play dough, and use chalk out on the driveway. We've also tried painting once or twice but it didn't go over so well, so we'll have to give that another shot soon.

Our favorite family craft has always been making homemade Halloween costumes together. My husband is an artist, so between his creativity, and various suggestions that I make, we come up with some prize-winning costumes. It's so much more fun than store-bought, the kids love them, and they are also much better than store-bought!
We love to color and play with play dough.
I love the boat in a bottle craft on your site!

We are making personalized boards this weekend. I bought large cork boards and we will be painting them, adding huge painted initials and embellishing with chains, metal tags and charms.
Our favorite time for crafting is Christmas. The grandkids help me make ornaments and decorations of all kinds. I help them make gifts for their parents.
we love to make dough to play with, makeing books and glueing. I see you have a heart stamp set my girls would love and a beginner knitting set. I am going to teach my oldest how to knit soon
we hang out and bake- or just read, or do scrapbooking
My kids like to color, draw, doodle, paint, etc. We try to recycle things and then give them away to the grandparents!
