Make A Craft
Make A Craft turns everyday household items into fun family crafts, tailored to your child’s interests
What is Make A Craft?
Make A Craft is a tool that generates craft ideas using materials you already have at home. You enter information about your child's age and interests, plus what household items are available, and the tool suggests creative projects to make together. It's designed for parents and carers looking for screen-free activities that don't require buying specialist craft supplies. The tool works on a freemium model, so you can access basic craft suggestions for free, with a paid tier offering additional features or an expanded library of ideas.
