Video games will only hold a kid’s attention for so long. Once the bosses have been destroyed or the world has been saved from fire-breathing trolls, they’ll come crawling up from the basement, squinting into the light, in search of something else to occupy their time.

A weapon that goes by the name of easy…adorable….crafts for kids.
