Crafts for kids

I am always trying to find fun ideas for the kids. We love to do crafts but are always looking for new ideas. Well I thought I would post one of our favorites!

What you will need~

About 10 baby food jars ( ask friends to save them for you or you can use mason jars)
Art paint that can be used on glass (you may need a sealer depending on the paint you use)
paint brushes
candles (small tea light candles for baby food jars and may use a bigger candle for mason jars)


Take the jars and paint away. You can paint them all one color or paint designs, etc.
Place a candle in the jar after the paint dries.
They make great table decorations for parties or just to brighten up a table. They also make great gifts for the kids to give.

If you want you could use on fourth of July. Use red. white, and blue paint. Paint on some stars and stripes and they are good to go.

I love this craft because if you are having a party you can then decorate cupcakes in the colors you used on the candles!!!
