8 Arts and Craft Activities for Girls

Back in May, I wrote a blog ‘8 Art and Craft Activities for Boys’, so I thought I should follow it up with a similar one for girls. Most arts and crafts suit both boys and girls, however, often the packaging is marketed for either boys or girls. I have 2 daughters who love arts and crafts, so I have a feeling I’ll find it much harder to widdle it down to 8, but here goes….

1. Alphabet Wooden Stamp Set

This set of 26 wooden stamps will allow you to make gorgeous cards, decorate projects and much more. Each stamp is a letter from the alphabet.

 

2. Paint your own Marbling Art Mug

This craft has a very impressive result as you get to paint your own marbling art mug.

 

3. Djeco’s Origami Small Boxes

This Origami Small Boxes Kit will teach your child how to fold the paper so that it can make 3 different boxes. In the kit, there are 24 pieces of pretty paper to get started on and over 100 stickers to decorate them with. This origami craft is designed for children aged 7 -13 years.

4. DIY Doll Keychains

Make 5 cute little doll keychains with this kit. A perfect craft for several children to share and do together.

 

5. Origami Fortune Tellers

Fold the pretty paper and then ask others to choose areas to reveal their ‘fortune’. These sets come with lots of paper and stickers to make these fun activities. I stock the Brightly Coloured Fortune Tellers and the Pastel Fortune Tellers.

 

6. Paint your own Russian Dolls

This kit comes with 5 wooden dolls of various sizes that fit into each other. You also get a set of paints and a paintbrush. You need to draw your design on the doll and then paint it in so it suits older children as they can be more detailed with their designs. Alternatively, do it as a family activity where you all have one doll or among on a group of friends. Then remind them how they fit together in life.

 

7. Foil Art

This is a cool craft where you transfer the foil unto the sticky pictures to make really effective shiny pieces of art. I stock the smaller Foil Badges set and the larger Fabulous Foil set. Both are made by Galt.

 

8. Spirograph Window Designer

Design lots of patterns on a window or whiteboard with the Spirograph Window Designer Kit.

 

I hope this has helped you as you try to decide what arts and crafts activities your little girl would like the most. If none of these jump out at you, you can see my full range of art and craft activities and kits on my website. Alternatively, I’ve written blogs with my top 10 arts and craft kits for 6-8 year olds here and Craft Ideas for 7 Year Olds.
