Welcome to Kids' Craft Ideas - your source of new and original crafts.
Kids' crafts develop kids' minds. Use these instructions as your starting point, but encourage kids to go beyond them and think of their own variations. They'll learn to think outside the square.
Teach your kids to be creative, and you give them skills for life. You'll find your children behave better and grow in confidence when they spend time making things with you at home.
Creative people don't give up. They find an inventive solution to every problem.

This project is a heap of fun for kids and adults to do together. You'll find that once they've decorated their mirror, they'll want to use it to keep themselves tidy, especially if you hang it at the right height for your child and add the basket below it.
Rather than repeat the instructions, here's the
link to our decorated mirror frames page.
This project is suitable for kids of all ages to do with adults. You'll need a framed mirror, acrylic paints, glue and decorations.
