Cricut Crafts to Make with Kids

Today I’ve got a fabulous collection of Cricut crafts that are perfect for the kids during these hot summer days and all year long.

I originally thought today’s post would be all about summer craft projects that can be made with your Cricut but then I realized these are great crafts to make all year long. As long as you have your handy dandy Cricut and all your favorite Cricut supplies, these craft projects are great for kids.  I especially love that they are projects that they are great for kids of all ages.

They are great for summer days when it’s too hot to do anything outside. They’re great for rainy days and they’re great when you want to stay in your pajamas all day and just get your craft on.

These Cricut crafts are easy for kids to make and actually take time to work on which means they’ll be busy for at least an hour:)  Some might even take two hours which is even better.  So grab your kids and plug in your Cricut because it’s time to get creative and have fun!

Color Your Own Bookmarks

We made these fabulous bookmarks using the Cricut pens, white card stock, glue and colored pencils.  This is definitely a great craft for kids because the Cricut cuts the images and they do the rest.

Color your own bookmarks using your Cricut and Cricut pen.

Want to make these bookmarks?  Just open this project in Design Space.  Load paper onto the LightGrip Adhesive Cutting Map and let your Cricut work it’s magic.  Make sure you add the Cricut pen to the Cricut.  Then you just glue the layers of cardstock together and color the images.

Aren’t they cute?  I love how the robot’s arms slide over the book pages.

Cricut Sun Catchers with Tissue Paper

Tissue Paper Sun Catchers

This craft is great for kids of all ages.  Use your handy dandy to Cricut to cut out different images.  I made sure to choose images in Cricut Design Space that had thick boarders and openings.

Tissue Paper Sun Catchers

Connor was in charge of cutting tissue paper while I loaded the paper into the Cricut.  We added contact paper to one side of the image and then added tissue paper until the entire image was covered.  Seal it with another layer of contact paper and you have these colorful sun catchers.  Find the project we used in design space here.

Color Your Own Banner

This last project was designed by Connor.  He wanted a sign for his bedroom and he wanted something that he color himself so this is what we came up with.  Personalize this project here and use Iron-on Lite and your iron to transfer the image to a canvas banner.  Then just use fabric markers to color in the letters and stars.
