40 Idea Blogs for Kids Crafts

So you are sitting at home with your kids and they are constantly complaining about how bored they are but have zero ideas as to what they should do about it. This is a tough situation because any of us could rattle off a hundred things that we would have done when we were kids (or even now if time permitted). However, one idea that I have started to test at my house is to have crafts ready to go for the kids so when they are bored they can create something fun, interesting, and actually do something worthwhile with their free time versus whipping out their Nintendo DS or sitting in front of the TV. In order to come up with ideas, I researched these 40 blogs for different craft ideas that are appropriate for my kids and thought I would share the list with you:
