Are your kids bored at home, spending all day on their phones or watching TV? If that is the case, why not introduce them to some stimulating and productive activities instead? For example, DIY crafts! This will hone their creative skills as well as problem-solving and critical thinking. And no, you do not need to go out and buy expensive equipment. You won’t need to look much farther especially if you have a bunch of felt paper lying around the home. Because all you have to do with felt is fold and cut it, it’s a great material for kids’ projects. It’s also inexpensive, comes in a variety of colors, and is easy to use!
With that in mind, I’ve compiled a list of 15 fantastic felt crafts for kids to do while indoors!
