Crafts to keep kids entertained while working from home

Sometimes, keeping little ones entertained while at work can seem like a job in itself. Between responding to coworkers, getting on scheduled meetings and videocalls, and finishing projects before the deadline, we need something to help our children be amused and stay occupied. Tap into their artistic side through arts and crafts. Below are five products that will keep your children busy and be an outlet for their paintings and masterpieces so you can answer that video call with ease.

Artlicious All Purpose Nylon Brush Set

If your children love painting, haven’t painted in years, or like to dabble now and then, these brushes accommodate every artist. They come in a set of ten blue brushes with bristles made from nylon, making them easy to clean. Let your child create their acrylic, oil, or watercolor masterpieces, and use each brush to perfect even the tiniest of details. Whether you are looking for something new to add to their craft collection, had to throw out some old ones they’ve had for years, or are a first-time buyer, look for further.

Take their artistry up a notch with this 24-pack of canvas panels.

Artlicious Popsicle Craft Sticks 1,000 PC

You might be asking, who needs 1,000 craft sticks, but you should be telling yourself, imagine how much you and your children can do with 1,000 craft sticks. The possibilities are endless. Build a wooden house, like the one on the box. Better yet, build a castle or private place having an outlet where they can escape. If they don’t feel like constructing anything, that’s fine too. These sticks are food-grade, so you can prepare some delicious popsicles out of them for your children and yourself, eating one or four when you log off from work. You deserve it. Plus, if you have a pet, put some peanut butter on one of the sticks and let your pup have a treat too.

Acrylic Paint Pens 12 Color Set

If your child already has the paintbrushes and paper but no paint or is limited in the colors they do have, this set is for them. It comes with 12 acrylic paint makers, so they’ll not only have enough to paint the colors of the rainbow but also the land, sea, sky, or any subject they want. As a bonus, if your child isn’t fond of using paintbrushes, these markers will work out great and provide a mess-free solution. Let them practice painting a bowl of fruit on your breakfast table or relax outside and paint something calming.
