Kids Crafts – 15+ Hand And Fingerprint Art Ideas

May 16, 2020 by Shellie Wilson

 

This roundup of kids crafts is all about handprints and paint. Art is important for young children but we tend to think that ART is for adults and Uni students. Art is important in allowing children to express themselves and teaches them fine motor skills as they play with the texture of paint, brushes and in this case their hands literally becoming one with the tactile paint.  Displaying their artwork gives them a sense of achievement and allows them to admire with confidence in their own creations. We have tried to highlight a few different styles of kids artwork pieces in the list below.

How to Travel with Cross Stitch

Cross stitch is not a craft I generally travel with (since I’m not that good at it, I prefer not to be moving while I’m doing it) but I’m sure there are lots of stitchers who would like to take their projects with them when they travel. 

Koekoek has a post all about cross stitching on a plane, which is a great plan since it’s lots of uninterrupted time to work. As mentioned in the post, you should be able to bring embroidery needles (which tend not to be that sharp anyway) on an airplane with you. 

Regulations in the United States say that scissors with blades up to 4 inches/10 cm are allowed in the cabin, but whether they are allowed by security as you pass through it is up to their discretion. And thread cutters that use a razor blade are not supposed to be allowed at any time. 

Alternatives include bringing nail clippers to snip your threads, or pre-cutting thread and placing it on bobbins so you can stitch on the plane. Then pack scissors in your checked bag so you can cut any loose ends or extra long strands later. 

Check out the post at Koekoek for more tips on traveling with cross stitch and suggestions for projects to pack when traveling. I’ve also written in the past about this post from Caterpillar Cross Stitch about traveling with cross stitch supplies and, importantly, what to do to make your screening as smooth as possible. And, importantly, what to do if the security agents question your supplies or want to confiscate anything you brought. 

And that’s a great tip, too: if you are packing scissors in your carry on but you’re also checking a bag, pack extras there just in case. 

Do you have any tips for traveling with cross stitch projects? I’d love to hear them. Also check out my post about planning a travel stitching kit.
