Terrific craft ideas for kids.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that DTLK Kids offers terrific craft ideas for ages 2 and up. Some of the crafts need parental supervision, and many need a printer. The instructions are framed by a banner ad at the top and numerous small ads along the side. The site is free.
What's it about?
If you've ever wanted to know how to make a "Hello Kitty" cake or wondered where you could download some printable coloring pages -- look no further, DLTK Kids has all of these items and lots more. You can search by subject, such as "Autumn." You can also search by the type of craft material you have on hand. Searching by material type is also the easiest way to find all the games on the site. They include jigsaw puzzles you can play online as well as links to other games sites. Another way to search for crafts is by the name of a favorite character, such as SpongeBob Squarepants.
Is it any good?
With an abundance of printables and a wealth of ideas on how to put all those empty baby food jars (as well as other materials) you've kept "for someday" to good use, DLTK Kids offers users a seemingly limitless number of craft activites. There are many ways to find just the right activity, but it would be nice to be able to search by age group somehow, such as "Toddlers" or "Preschoolers." Still, it's easy enough to find something for everyone. If not, you can ask in the discussion forum where the site owner and other users answer requests.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about what doing crafts teaches us. How can you apply what you learn from creating something -- patience, imagination, a sense of fun -- to other things in life, such as friendships and school?
