As a family, we're fortunate to have lived in several different countries. These international crafts for kids are the best craft ideas we can find. Just as customs are different in each country, so each county's crafts have their own styles.
Throwing-Chestnuts
(also from Germany) have streamers behind them, and make a whooshing sound as they fly!
Children love learning about people and crafts from around the world.
Why not get out a library book and find out more about the cultures the crafts come from? Find out where the countries are on a map, and how the people live. How do they celebrate? Are there any families from these countries living near you? Perhaps you and your children could meet them.
Don't just stick to making crafts from your own culture. Try some international kids crafts!
