Going on vacation can be a very exciting time for a family. However, when vacationing with kids, you might find yourself having to entertain your kids rather than being able to relax. This is where vacation family crafts come in handy. There are many different types of crafts you can get your child involved in to keep them busy on your vacation. Just be sure that you plan the crafts ahead of time and bring the needed supplies. Below you will find a few crafts that your kids can do during vacation family time.

Homemade mobiles - For this you will need glue, string, paper plates, a hole puncher and large ziploc bags. Have your kids walk around outside and collect whatever they can that peaks their interest (within reason) and put inside their ziploc bag. This can be leaves, rocks, twigs, flowers, grass, etc. Once inside, have them punch some holes all around the outside of a plate. Then have them glue on the leaves, flowers, twigs, or grass onto the paper plate. Tie some sting around each object they found and loop and tie the other end of each string in the holes they made. They now have their own homemade mobile.

Watercolors - Watercolors are very handy for vacation family time because they are compact and do not require much effort. You can give your kids disposable cups of water for dipping their brushes into and have them paint paper plates. They can even get more creative, find rocks, and paint them.

Paper masks - This can be loads of fun for your kids when allowing them to use their imaginations. What you will need for this craft is paper plates, crayons, markers or paint, stapler, hole puncher, scissors, construction paper, glue, string and small pom poms (optional).

Let’s take a dog mask as an example. Take out a paper plate and have your kids decorate it like the face of a dog. This can be anyway they like. They can color in the plate a brown color with their crayons or markers or have them get out a brown piece of construction paper, place a paper plate on it, and trace the outside edge of it around the construction paper. Then have them cut the construction paper to fit their paper plate by cutting on the circle line they just drew. Once they have their construction paper cut, they can glue it on to the paper plate and begin drawing the rest of their dogface. They can draw on whiskers, cut out two holes for their eyes and one hole for their mouth. Then glue on a pom pom as the nose. They can cut out ears with construction paper and glue them on each side of the plate. They can even use red construction paper and cut out a tongue and just glue it under the hole where their mouth will be. Have them either punch a hole on both edges of the plate and tie a string through it or you can staple the string on both sides so they can wear their masks around their head.

Vacation family time can be very exciting for your kids with a little thought and creativity. Keeping them busy working on their own arts and crafts allows you some extra relaxation time on your much needed vacation.
