Tips from my own personal experience

• Set up a dedicated craft area. This will help to keep things organized and prevent messes from spreading.
• Have all of your supplies ready to go before you start. This will help to keep your kids engaged and focused.
• Be prepared for messes. Crafting can be messy, so it’s important to be prepared. Lay down a tarp or newspaper to protect your surfaces.
