Happy New Year, everyone.  You've all made resolutions to make more crafts with your kids, right?  To be more artistic, help the kids stretch their imaginations, and just spend more quality time with the family, right? 

The Craft Playground is here to help you.  Ideas and projects for encouraging arts & crafts with kids are here, using simple, low or no cost materials.  And the only thing required of you is the willingness to give it a try.

All the projects have just been re-organized into a blog format that will enable you to more easily find the projects that suit your needs.  They also allow you to make comments on individual crafts.  So please feel free to comment, and take a look at other viewers thoughts on the projects.

Please also keep checking in with my regular blog--Think Artfully!  Here I'll try to provide you with some thoughts on stretching your kids' imagination, and injecting art into their daily life.

Have a peaceful and artful new year.
