SITES FOR KIDS AND MORE - GENERAL CRAFTS:
This page of craft links covers a
wide area of crafts. With additonal pages on my site for some of the more popular
crafts: *polymer clay, *
braiding and
of course the most popular *Beadie/Pony
bead animals. Additional crafts
for Jewish programs can be seen on my *Jewish
Crafts page or my new *Jewish Beadie Projects
page. Also don't forget to check on my Parent/Teacher
Resource page for links to
helpful sites and companies that sell kits or supplies for many
crafts. When choosing crafts for this page I am trying to find: Simple
Crafts (coloring books etc.) that parents of young children can do on the
computer or in their home. Crafts teens can do by themselves.
Crafts for professionals (both experienced and
beginner) Some of these crafts I have used myself. Many are sites I have
only recently discovered but see they have potential for crafters like myself.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Remember to hit reload ever time you visit a page on my site, as I update frequently
and most computer networks save old copies of a site to "help" you.

dark. More Bead Swaps for Girl Scouts on my Scouting Page.

craze of Power Beads. I
