CRAFTS
Crafts are the key to (1) keeping everyone busy and (2) limiting costs but making it memorable. You can buy most inexpensive crafts from Oriental Trading Company, Sunshine Crafts, and some craft stores like Michaels, AC Moore. The quality is based on the price you are going to spend (remember that you are buying retail) and are made in CHINA.
If you want something natural (things that you did in summer camp) you can find them by searching boy-scout crafts companies (look for lanyards or leather works). You can also find some GREAT FREE ones on our blog for plants and how to find things in nature and use them - for FREE!!! They will also be applied to the theme of your party.
Our crafts are high quality, not imported from CHINA and you won't find them in a craft store. The crafts include:
- Paint your own tea set or plates/cups
- Beaded necklaces and bracelets
- Camp crafts (lanyards, leather work)
- Leather work (make purses, belts, wallets)
- Science kits (various)
- Bug collecting kits build & decorate
- Bird houses build & decorate
- Cooking and baking crafts
- Make your own make-up or perfume
- Stuff your own flower skirt
