Let creativity run rampant today and everyday. I am a total supporter of DIY crafting with my kiddos. However, with our busy schedule, sometimes it’s easier to get a craft kit for them to do. It saves me a load of time and still gives their clever minds something to do. And because Target is a place our family frequently visits and orders from, it tends to be one of my go-to places to find creative crafts, especially for my daughter. Keep reading to find some of my favorite suggestions for creative crafts for girls that they will love to stay busy with.
Stock Up on Creative Crafts For Girls
There are a few things that I don’t ever mind buying more of: Legos, books, and creative crafts and craft kits for my kids. Okay, maybe we have reached our limit of Legos, but the latter two are always welcome in our house.
I would much rather have my kids involved in crafts, small projects, or arts than sitting on a device playing mind numbing games. I know all you Mamas out there are nodding your heads because you know how hard it can be in our technology driven world to overcome the challenges of limiting electronics.
However, with a little encouragement and some fun options in front of them kids can be captivated by a craft kit that encourages imagination and creativity.
My daughter especially loves to craft, draw, color, and create so I decided to make a list of crafts for girls that we can try together. Now I’m sharing it with my readers so that you too can get your girls’ imaginations flowing.
Convenience + Crafting
To make getting crafty uber easy all of these suggestions can be ordered from Target. You can also check to see if they carry them in your local store and pick them up on your next target run or drive up visit. However, I love the convenience of free shipping for all Target red card holders, so the online option is my fav.
