Crafts are a great way to keep kids entertained, engage them, and encourage creativity. And at the end of the day, you’ll have something beautiful on your fridge or wall. One thing to be aware of when it comes time for crafts: the random materials and supplies that nobody has. Who has 12 yards of rainbow-colored washi in their craft cupboard (if they have one at all)?

Here are some easy crafts you can make with items already around the house. Check out 15 easy skills for kids that you can make with just three supplies.
