Arts & Crafts Ideas for Children and Teenagers?
Hello! I have just been hired as Arts & Crafts Director of a camp and I will be in charge of crafts activities for children aged 6-16.
I need some interesting Arts & Crafts ideas for the kids. I have some ideas of my own and can repeat the ones we did last year when I was assistant, but new ones or information where I could get some ideas for new ones would be appreciated.
My supplies are almost completely unlimited…we do everything from Popsicle stick houses to ceramics to oil paintings on canvas.

I do origami with kids that are 6 and up. There’s a kazillion things you can make with paper: choose wisely so kids don’t get bored (paper airplanes, kites, make waterbombs etc)
