Crafts/Crafts for Children

Question
I'm seeking craft ideas for an article that I'm working on for the Paducah Parenting & Family magazine. I need easy craft projects for children that can be given as gifts. The projects need to be made from things that can be found around the home, and or bought in craft supply stores. I prefer most of the craft projects to be from things found around the home if possible. Please include materials needed, and instructions for making the craft. If you have a picture of any or all of the craft projects that would be very helpful as well. If you do have pictures mention this and I'll get back with you to give you the e-mail address to send them to.

The article has a short deadline so I need the craft projects to be sent to me on or before Friday, October 14, 2005. Your time and assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Dear Misti - Here are some sites that have children's crafts.  I hope this gives you ideas for your magazine.  Please ask permission and give credit if you reprinting their information.

I have worked in polymer clay for about 15 years. I have sold my work for about 15 and work in this medium almost daily. My book, "Creative Techniques for Polymer Clay Jewelry" by North Light Books, will be released June 2005.
