⚠️ Safety first
- Each idea has its own materials. Check the original post for each idea's specific cautions before you start.
- An adult handles anything hot (such as a microwave paint recipe) and lets it cool before kids touch it.
- An adult handles electric fairy lights and any sharp cutting.
- Supervise young children closely around small craft pieces.
