Encourage kids’ creativity with these DIY art activity pages that can be created using materials you have and customized to your child’s interests.
Updated June 2022
Did you know you can make you own art activity pages for your kids?
It’s true! And something we love to do. You can create something on the fly in response to a current interest or need or situation. It’s customized to the child. It’s easy and inexpensive. And often just uses the materials at hand.
The result is usually more open-ended and can inspire great creativity.
And you can make a page at a time for your kids and see where it goes. If they want more of the same, you can make more. If it seems like they’re ready to move on, that’s okay too.
Here are some of our favorite DIY art activity pages for your family.
