Homemade Fun! 17 Homemade Toys and Easy Games for Kids

August 6, 2014 by AllFreeKidsCrafts

Homemade Fun! 15 Homemade Toys and Easy Games for Kids Kids love playing with toys, but sometimes buying toys can get really expensive. When your kids make their own toys and games, you won’t have to worry about cost. Your little ones will have more fun making their own toys anyway because there is always that feeling of accomplishment that follows a successful creation. They will have a blast playing with something that they were able to create all by themselves.

There are tons of homemade toys and cool games for kids that will have your little crafters occupied for hours. Not only will they have the time of their lives creating their own toys and games that they can play with, but they won’t believe that they were able to create something that’s similar to what you can buy in a store. There are even toys and games that you can’t buy, which makes them that much better!

 Fun Homemade Toys for Kids

One way to keep your little ones occupied is to let them make their own toys! Having your kids make homemade toys is one of the best kids’ craft ideas because they will enjoy being able to create something that they will be able to turn around and play with. They get to continue to play with the crafts that they make instead of just doing the activity and moving on. After they make toys like the Boxy Cardboard Firetrucks, they won’t want to go back to the regular kids’ craft ideas. Every kid dreams of driving a big firetruck. Now they can turn a simple cardboard box into something that they will play with for hours. There are even crafts that will take your kids outside into the sunshine. Your little ones can make a Costless Kite that they can watch fly into the wind. There are just so many different  fun homemade toys that your kids will love!

Easy Games for Kids

Cool games for kids are always a big part of anyone’s list of simple kids’ crafts. Your little ones will enjoy making their own games out of household items, especially when they get to make a themed game, like the Angry Birds Can Bowling. Every kid loves to bowl, but not every kid gets to bowl with Angry Birds! Now your kids can put down their Angry Birds game to play the real-life version. How does it get any better than this? There are even classic games that we have played as kids, like the DIY Hopscotch Mat. This is always a popular game among kids, and it’ll be even more fun when they get to make their own fun colored mat. There are a lot of easy kids games for your little ones to choose from, so boredom shouldn’t be a problem!
