Marly Bird’s Kids Craft Camp 2018

Marly Bird™ Kids Craft Camp 2018 is a fun event where kids and caregivers can connect over Crafting and YouTube! That’s right, you all get to enjoy working on a fun kids craft while I teach you how to do it on YouTube Live. On this post you will find the themes for each week and a list of materials you will need to follow-along with the live video for the week.

CRAFTING AND YOUTUBE

Did you know that in recent studies it has been determined that Generation Z can’t live without YouTube? Seriously, 95% of them watch it on a daily basis (sounds like me and my relationship with yarn). My kids are 16, 14 and 12 and I know first hand how much they LOVE YouTube. When I asked them about this Marly Bird™ Kids Craft Camp idea they thought it was perfect. Jojo (age 12), “It’s like you’re trying to make crafting cool for kids by putting it on YouTube. I think that is a good idea, Mom. Can I be on it too?” LOL, he is always trying to get on camera.

SAFETY WARNING!

There are some items that require the use of an item that is not suitable for children (ex: a hot glue gun) for those projects we are asking that the adult is the one to work with that item and follow the safety instructions that come with the item. Marly Bird™ or Yarnsports llc is NOT responsible for any injury caused by the use of any items in the materials list provided. Use your common sense, if there is something that you don’t think is safe for a kid to use then that is a chance for you to step in and be the adult super hero ☺ .

AGES

The kids craft camp is for kids of preschool age to 6th grade, but the age suitability of the craft is ultimately up to the parent/caregiver. Again, use your common sense and it you think a project is too much for your child maybe choose one of the other projects suggested in that weeks blog post.
