Who would think that crafting and tea parties go together? They do when you paint your own tiny tea set with acrylic paints. Have you noticed that little girls just love having tea parties? Now they can have a party for their friends, dolls, teddy bears and use their own hand-painted miniature china. Maybe they will even invite mom and dad!
Little tea sets are so cute and delicate. I bought one for myself to paint just because I like tiny things and enjoy painting.
If your children have taken an interest in arts and crafts, scrapbooking is an enjoyable activity that you can share with them. This is also one of those activities that they can perhaps ask their friends and playmates to participate in. If you plan properly, this could just be a means of keeping them occupied for an extended period of time.
A few suggestions to help you keep down the cost of your supplies are:
* Let them cut out pictures from old magazines.
* Gather up old photos that you no longer want or need and let them scrapbook with them.
* Make photo copies of your pictures for them to scrap.
* Kids always love using stickers. Often these can be bought very inexpensively.
* Check your scrapbooking supplies for leftovers and odds and ends. Kids are good at finding uses for unused pieces you will probably not use.
