Crafting has made a major comeback. Crafts were definitely losing the battle to screens for a while, until shutdowns made us all rediscover our appreciation for the simpler things.
There's no better time to craft and celebrate learning new crafts than March, which was deemed National Craft Month in 1994 by the Craft & Hobby Association. As we trudge through those last weeks of cold weather, there are great crafts to keep our antsy families busy while indoors. If you're lucky enough to live somewhere that's already warm, you can enjoy these crafts under the sun, too.
If you're looking for an easy start to crafting with your kids, check out some of these awesome craft kits that will inspire the creativity in your whole family.
