Yarn Crafts for Kids

Yarn crafts for kids area surefire ways to keep kids busy, learning and having fun. These more than 60 projects include educational activities, art projects, jewelry projects and more. There’s definitely something for kids of all ages. 

I love yarn crafts because they’re inexpensive and a great way to use up yarn scraps. They can usually be done with minimal equipment and often items you already have at home. They’re always one of the more popular craft ideas for kids.

Yarn crafts for kids are great for:

• Having fun
• Developing fine motor skills
• Educational activities that are fun
• Reinforcing learning for kinesthetic learners
• Following instructions
• Creating art for kids
