When & Where

"We adapted this idea to make treat boxes for my son’s class for Valentine’s Day. He created conversation hearts with each friend’s name."
- Nicole N., mother of 7-year-old.

"At our Wild About Wildlife party, children made their own inchworms while they waited for all the guests to arrive."
- Angela G., mother of 6- and 9-year-olds.

Interesting Info

Safety Guidelines

Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.

String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
