5 thrifty craft ideas #5frugalthings

today – thrifty craft ideas

I do lots of thrifty crafting with my kids and I am so excited to share some of our best thrifty craft ideas with you  We love to get outside into the fresh air, get a bit mucky and create. We love to use natural and free materials and adore the idea of recycling rather than adding to landfill.

We also adore making rainbow salads from the fresh lettuce we pick from our garden – there is nothing like growing your own for understanding where food comes from and it is so relaxing for kids to spend time gardening. Oh and of course it is healthy too!

Keeping kids busy and entertained really does not need to cost very much  at all and it is wonderful for them to have an unplugged childhood, use their imagination and get outside. long live thrifty creativity!
