For our family Summertime means time for creating! My kids love to make crafts and are always coming home from the library with craft idea books full of inspiration for their next project! Today I’m sharing a complete list of our most loved craft books for kids!
Ready or not, Summer is here! One of the things my kids look forward to about Summer is plenty of time for crafting. Whenever we make a trip to the library it seems like my kids are bringing home a new craft idea book for inspiration for their next project! We’ve seen them all I’m sure. In fact, last Summer I set out to find the very best kids craft books out there and ordered several from the library so we could check them out.
Today I’m sharing the top 10 books that made our list of Most Loved Craft Books for Kids! Some of these we own, but most we’ve checked out from the library and have made crafts from them! Take a peek at these fun books, I hope they will inspire your Summer crafting adventures as much as they have ours!
