Engaging in arts and crafts with children often seems like a delightful plan. It’s one of those activities that many parents feel obligated to partake in, believing it will create lasting memories of family bonding over paper, glue, and an array of colorful materials. However, the reality can be quite different.
Soon enough, bickering erupts among the little ones, and the stress of managing the mess begins to outweigh the joy of creativity. Glitter and glue wind up strewn everywhere, transforming your home into a chaotic craft zone. Instead of a charming masterpiece, you’re left with what can only be described as a Pinterest fail—a far cry from the Pinterest-perfect image you had envisioned.

Perhaps I’ll even support a fellow mom who excels in crafts at the local holiday fair.
