Crafting with Kids Around


Listen Later

Sometimes it's hard to find the time and space to craft when your kids are small or even as busy teens. Let's talk about ways to keep your family involved in your hobby.

  1. Set aside a space that's for you only. 
  2. Give them their own crafting supplies so they can work independently with you.
  3. Keep your craft stuff in a main area of your house, so that you are available.
  4. Be realistic about how much time you have. 
  5. Go to a crop or a friends house away from the kids. 
  6. Give them a list of things they can do alone so you can craft. 
  7. Do chores with them or while they are awake so nap time is all for you and crafting. 
  8. Prepare ahead of time so craft time isn't spent figuring out what to do. 
  9. Give them older albums to look through while you craft.
