Birthday Party Craft Ideas for 6 Year Olds
Hand Prints
Having your child's hand print, is a souvenir worth every penny. Though, it's not a fun craft item that children can take home, they will surely enjoy doing this activity. For this activity, you will need a piece of cloth, fabric paints and water. Give each child a bottle of paint or pour out some on their hand. Let them pick their favorite colors to make this activity even more enjoyable. Give them a few drops of water on their hand and then ask them to spread the paint all over their palm, place a piece of cloth in front of each child and ask them to make a print of their own colored hands. If you want you can hand them a few brushes, so that they can write their name and age on them.
T Shirts
Pick up inexpensive white and black t shirts from the nearest wholesale market. Buy some fabric paints, brushes and palettes. Hand out a t shirt to every child and give them a set of fabric paints. You can either give them a picture that they can replicate on the t-shirt or allow them to use the canvas as their creativity dictates them. Once done, place the t-shirts in a cool area to dry and staple a note that explains 'how to care'. This activity will keep the children engaged for good about two hours.
Collage
Old newspapers, magazines, pamphlets and other scraps of unwanted paper, is of little use. But, they make the perfect material for making beautiful collages. Divide all the children in groups of five. Give each group a picture that has be replicated as a collage. Hand out the paper, scissors, glue and a chart paper (for the base) too. Allocate an hour to finish the activity. The group to finish it first and correctly, gets a prize!
Badges
Children are prone to losing things very easily. Losing water bottles, lunch boxes or bags is common amongst kids. Having a name badge on their items, will increase the chances of finding it. To make name badges you will need ice cream sticks, paint, glitter, stickers and a marker. Hand out two ice cream sticks to each child and divide the rest of the materials. Let them write and decorate their badge on their own.
