When you have limited time with your children, you want to maximize your time with them. One of the best bonding activities you can do with your children is fun arts and crafts!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Children need lots of quality time with their parents. You\u2019ll find that when you work together with your child on the same project, they will open up, ask questions, and tell what\u2019s on their mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Arts and crafts are also a great way to practice fine motor skills. Coloring, cutting, and gluing are all builders of fine motor skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plus, when the project is done, your child has something to feel proud of, play with later, and remember the quality time they spent with you.<\/span><\/p>\n

These arts and crafts activities use materials that are likely already around your house, but a trip to the dollar or craft store is also a fun bonding experience. Here are some easy and fun arts and crafts activities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Paper Squishies<\/span><\/h3>\n

With all the rage surrounding Squashmallows, the next trendy craft is paper squishies. Simply draw or print the front of an animal on one paper and the back of the animal on another paper. Color these however you choose, and then cut them out. Cover with tape, tape both sides together, stuff with a plastic bag, and tape the bottom closed. You have a cute, personalized, squishy toy!<\/span><\/p>\n
