50 DIY projects to build for kids: Part 1


50 DIY projects to build for kids

Building for kids is one of the most fun things to do as a parent and as a DIYer. Whether it is for your own munchkins or as part of being the greatest aunt/uncle/grandma/grandpa/whatever, kid themed projects are a chance to stretch your imagination, play a little, and not be afraid of color. And there is no better gift than something homemade!

This list includes 50 DIY projects by awesome boss building bloggers (say that three times fast). Each includes instructions and material sources. Every one of them are totally worth following, so check them out for more DIY goodness!

 

Just a note: I am NOT into clickbait or whatever. Buuuut the entire list of awesome sauce projects simply won’t go in one shot. Or two. So to see the entire thing you will have to click to part 2, then part 3. I promise, cross my heart, hope to die (what the heck does that mean anyway?!) that I’m not trying to drive traffic or something fishy like that. I just crashed my server multiple times trying to heft the whole load of projects on all at once. So push the button. Because it would make me sad if you missed out on numbers 18-50. (Spoiler: They are so good.)
