If you're looking for some great ideas to get the kids inspired to be creative try this web site. It's a fantastic resource and has some really simple ideas.

www.thecreatives.com.au

There are beginner, a little harder and challenging projects - all for kids. Some of the ideas

just use stuff you would have laying around the house, like old milk cartons (check out the bird feeder in the beginners section), egg cartons, cardboard boxes.

The projects are all downloadable and most of them can be done with only very little assistance from Mum or Dad.

If you live in Australia kids can join The Creatives Club at any Spotlight store and get a free Member kit with stickers, pencils, pencil case and other goodies. You can also pick up the free project sheets in store, although there are many more on the website.
