Calling all teachers, babysitters, inspiring parents and helpful siblings!
If you’re planning Fun Crafts For Kids, you really ought to incorporate glow & lights, and I’ll tell ya why. #1: Light up crafts for kids are actually fun for adults as well. #2: Most FBL products have changeable batteries for multiple uses – bonus! And #3: It’s a somewhat sneaky way of getting little ones to pay attention. Surrre, they’ll think it’s all fun & games, but you’re actually educating & stimulating their minds at the same time. Brilliant!
There are so many Fun Crafts For Kids out there, you guys. Immeasurable amounts. And that is why I love Pinterest. Follow that link above to see my favorites collected on our board. Here at FBL headquarters, we often take a crack at our own fun crafts for kids, and here’s my latest, being a child of the ’80s myself:
YESsssss! Tetris still rules. Stack LED Deco Cubes in a color-coded fashion to resemble this classic Nintendo game. Help your kiddo prepare the colors by clicking the button under each cube (no flashing blinky here; just steady lights). It’s a challenge for children to re-create the image. Good for the brain, and a colorful feast for the eyes! Once you’re done making a Tetris tower, LED Deco Cubes can also be set on sloooow color change, which looks like a mesmerizing night light. Kiddos will LOVE IT.
Here’s a few more of my favorites from the FBL archives. With many holidays comin’ up (they WILL be here before you know it), best to prepare now. Get inspired with us!
For Halloween:
GLOW eyes in the bushes! Click on that image for a closer look; surprisingly simple. The key here is glow bracelets in each TP roll. I see Pinterest folks suggest glow sticks all the time when that’s actually incorrect. It’s the bended bracelet that stays in place with ease…
For Thanksgiving:
A lil’ Light Up Turkey buddy! No matter how much technology attempts to take over the world & distract kids in search of entertainment, turkey crafts are still fun and will never go out of style. Mark my words…
For Christmas:
Elf On The Shelf done with glow & LED lights! You can’t glow I mean GO wrong with this. Kids go bonkers for Elf On The Shelf. And even though it’s Mom & Dad who set up the scenarios, kids will totally appreciate the light treats left behind for them to play with…
Do you have any fun ideas to incorporate FBL lights? Let me know in the comments below, for I will put new ideas to the test! Always a pleasure. ‘Til next time, light crafters…
