Hints, tips & ideas

Create clever craft projects with these tips
From nifty alternatives to easy tips, here are some smart ways to keep their creative juices flowing:
- There are more ways to paint than just with brushes. Grab old toothbrushes, sponges and combs to discover new textures and effects, or get a bit more messy with finger painting and handprints.
- Start them off with only a few basic colours and gradually introduce more shades.
- If you're using water paints, make sure to paint-proof the floor and furniture with newspaper or easy-to-wipe tablecloths.
- For crafts, you can make use of cardboard and other recyclables. Egg cartons, cardboard boxes and kitchen roll tubes are great for creating animals, spaceships and more.
- If they're colouring or drawing, use stencils and shapes to inspire and help them with their creations.
