Our Favorite Arts + Crafts Blogs
Our team has been getting lots of questions about arts and crafts resources and ideas for kids who are out of school and looking for something to do! We are slowly building up our guides of Paint Love projects with intentional discussions and themes, but there is no shortage of amazing art and craft blogs with tutorials and guides already out there! Check out some of our favorites below; they’re our favorites based on organization (easy to find projects for different ages and materials), creativity and intentionality (engaging creative thinking, fine motor skills, etc.), and clear directions.
Note: Most of these projects require basic art supplies. Many of the sites have suggested basic supply lists and links to their favorite products, but we’ve also complied a list of fun and simple pen and paper projects that don’t require any spcial art supplies!
