Inspiration comes from animals and creatures – real and imaginary. Katie makes a 3-D owl with textured wings makes a great decoration for any room. Franz and Katie make creature creation a team sport by drawing three-part fantasy animals together. Jenny looks to the sea to find inspiration for a jelly-fish made from re-cycled materials then Katie creates a glittery clay lizard textured with found items. From the Family Craft box make a pair of bear claw slippers made from tissue boxes.

Half the fun of making crafts is wearing and using them!  Get some great idea for useful crafts on Hands On Crafts for Kids episode 1713. It airs on the Hands On Crafts for Kids website starting at noon on Friday, July 10, 2015 and runs for 7 days.

Use what you make and get double fun from your crafts.  Weave hip survival bracelets with some tips from Katie. Franz uses everyday objects to make a robot storage container. Blogger Rachel Howard and her kids make a miniature construction site for toy earth-moving equipment! Use items from the Family Craft Box and recycle old road maps to craft a travel case full of learning games and activities – and treats, too!
