It's a noise maker and they can decorate the plates. You could also do kazoos with toilet paper/paper towel tubes by securing a piece of wax paper to the end with a rubber band.</p> <p>You could do a variety of these musical instrument crafts and have a band at the end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-party-craft-for-3-year-olds#post-2236675 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 19:54:55 +0000 sometimesshesings 2236675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Process based art might keep them busy and stimulated longer than something product based. Perhaps a big sensory bin with dried rice, beans or sand with shovels and small items they can find? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-party-craft-for-3-year-olds#post-2236514 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 17:15:23 +0000 aegie 2236514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They have these craft kits that are really awesome because it comes with everything! </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/My-First-Sticky-Mosaics%C2%AE-Vehicles/dp/B001RPWM7Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1436912051&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=mosaic+craft+for+kids" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/My-First-Sticky-Mosaics%C2%AE-Vehicles/dp/B001RPWM7Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1436912051&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=mosaic+craft+for+kids</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/ALEX-Toys-Little-Hands-Paper/dp/B001UH50MU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1436912102&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=alex+craft+kits" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/ALEX-Toys-Little-Hands-Paper/dp/B001UH50MU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1436912102&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=alex+craft+kits</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-party-craft-for-3-year-olds#post-2236374 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 14:01:49 +0000 autumnlove 2236374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Check out Pinterest for summer themed crafts. Maybe shaving cream/glue ice cream puff paint? Handprint art? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-party-craft-for-3-year-olds#post-2236358 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 13:46:16 +0000 HappyBaker 2236358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mauxie: Oh yes I forgot about Oriental Trading. I don't think I can deal with the mess of tie dye.</p> <p>@Mamaof2: I was thinking that - do you think 3 is too young for it though? I remember loving it as a kid but I feel like I was older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-party-craft-for-3-year-olds#post-2236347 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 13:36:27 +0000 Mamaof2 2236347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sand art is always fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-party-craft-for-3-year-olds#post-2236344 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 13:33:21 +0000 mauxie 2236344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds so fun! Maybe check oriental trading for their craft kits? Decorate a pic frame? </p> <p>At daycare this week the kids are doing tie-dye shirts. Not sure if that's possible with your location but I know the 3 year olds really look forward to it and the mess haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-party-craft-for-3-year-olds#post-2236302 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 13:08:29 +0000 HappyBaker 2236302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Great idea, thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-party-craft-for-3-year-olds#post-2236262 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 12:38:19 +0000 Smurfette 2236262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about foam visors? You can buy a big bucket of the stickers and then they can each decorate one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-party-craft-for-3-year-olds#post-2236241 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 12:24:14 +0000 HappyBaker 2236241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are having a big end of summer cookout and there will be about 10 kids, all are around 3ish year olds. Any ideas for a good craft for them to do? I don't mind buying / making supplies.</p> <p>It's an all day party so I'd love to have something to kill some time when they get tired of running around! </p>
