Homemade crafts can be a lot of fun and can teach your child a valuable lesson in saving.

Homemade Crafts
To start the children�s craft, take an old coffee can or something of the same size. Put a slit in the plastic cover to accommodate coins. Have them decorate the outside anyway that they would like from things around the house. Add character to it by giving it a label such as �Wishes.� Have your child put the picture of the article in the coffee can and secure the lid.
If this is a young child, give them household chores that they can handle. Reward them with money for the job well done. This will work well for teaching your child that they have to work for things and that they don�t always come so easy. This will also give them the incentive to do some extras things in order to receive additional funds. Depending on what they want they can save the entire amount or you can add to the fund at any time. You will be surprised at the enthusiasm this will create. Once they have achieved this goal you can move on to another wish that needs to be earned.

Arts and Crafts for Kids
Looking for some arts and crafts for kids for the next rainy day? This craft for kids is so much fun to create and can be done right at home. Weather your child is into finger painting or using a brush we have a great craft for kids for your child�s next Picasso. This will not only keep it safe, it will be a wonderful way to present it as a gift.
Arts and Crafts for Kids
Take an empty paper towel tube. Have your child decorate it anyway they desire. Once again, use craft supplies from around the house. When she has completed her work of art, roll it up and place it safely in the newly designed carrying case. Now it can be transported without worry of ruining the art work. This makes a great gift for a grandparent, aunt or uncle. They are getting a work of art all rolled up in its own gift wrap!
Another use for that paper towel tube is a rainmaker. You may also decorate the outside. Cover one end of the tube with waxed paper and secure it with a rubber band. Drop dried beans or split peas into the tube. Secure the other end as you did the first. Take toothpicks and punch them into the tube at different locations. When your child turns the tube upside down it will have a great rain sound.
