Chalkboards are a great learning tool for kids, and they can also be a fun accessory to add to their room. You can turn a section of the wall into a chalkboard surface where kids can let their creativity run wild. It’s as easy as going to an arts and crafts store and buying chalkboard paint to create a designated area for drawing, writing messages, or playing games.
Your kids will be entertained for hours! And, of course, there’s the huge added value of not having to repaint your walls because your kids suddenly decided the house looked like a blank canvas.
Use Containers to Build a Play Table
Any parent will tell you that having play tables in a kid’s room is a must since they are very helpful at keeping them busy for hours. If you’re looking to get an outdoor play table for your kid, check out this DIY project – it’s easy cheap, and your kids will love it. Find a wooden box or crate and measure its surface, then buy some plastic containers that will fit perfectly within the measurements.
Next, fill in the containers with sand or water and place some toys on top; your child will spend hours playing with their new interactive table. And it’s super easy to dismantle and transport when you travel!
Make a Fabric Pennant Banner
Pennant banners are an amazing way to add flare to any party or event, but who says these wonderful accessories can only be used on occasion? You can make a DIY fabric pennant banner to decorate your kids’ room and make it look more festive.
You can create a colorful and whimsical fabric pennant banner to hang across the walls by cutting triangle shapes from different patterned fabrics, and then sew or glue them onto a ribbon or twine and hang the banner to add a playful touch to the room. Your kids will feel like there’s a celebration in their room every day!
Make No-Sew Pillow Covers
Another arts and crafts project you can do with your kid is making no-sew pillow covers. You’ll need some plain fabrics, felt shapes, fabric paint, and fabric glue, and of course, you can go a little crazy and get some glitter and any other accessories. Next, buy some medium-sized pillows at a retail store; they’ll only be a few dollars.
Measure the pillows’ shapes and cut out a piece of fabric accordingly, then decorate it with your kid however you like. You can then glue the fabric onto the pillow, and your kid will now have something they made when they go to bed or sit in their reading corner.
Design an Interactive Gallery Wall
There are plenty of ways to turn your kid's room’s wall into a fun canvas, and why not go the extra mile and make it more interactive? You can create a dynamic gallery wall by framing your child's artwork, drawings, and achievements and encouraging them to pin on any new creations.
Go to your local crafts store and get some corkboard squares or magnetic boards so they can change the displays themselves. This will make for a beautiful décor item and a fun game for your children. Having a space they can arrange however, they want will encourage their artistic side and give them the freedom to express themselves.
