Sparkle Crafts: NINE Sparkle Family Crafts

This week here at Sparkle Stories we are honoring and celebrating the beauty of diverse family models. Families come in all shapes and sizes and combinations. And you don't have to be related by blood to be a loving family. This craft round-up is for all families to enjoy together.

Family Flag

Countries are sort of like families: each country has shared culture, a certain amount of symbolism that binds them together and, usually, a distinct food culture. Delve into your own family and make a flag that represents your shared family culture!

Making a Stick Friend

Nature Sticks are wonderful and one of the best toys a child can have. Kids can use a stick to make a flag or a magical wand. Long sticks can be turned into a tree fort. Short sticks are perfect for stirring mud pies and drawing in the sand. You can even make a stick family to represent your own family members.

Make Your Own Puppet Theater

Sometimes crafting is about the making – either the process or the product that results from the tools you use. But sometimes with crafting you move beyond the process or product and craft something that will get used time and time again by you, your little ones, or someone you love. This craft is great for family story night or game night.
