Crafts for a 6 and 7 yr old

How about perler beads, or teach them ti make friendship bracelets?

My 7 year old loves books that tell you how to draw things, and more intricate coloring books.

do you have a video camera you don't really use anymore?

i let my 5 yr olds use my old one and they make funny videos for hours on end. i play it back on the tv for them and we all watch it. OMG are they funny to watch.

we did some over the summer when it was blazing hot outside that we couldn't go out.

BUT if I have to hear let it go one more time, well I just might not be back here on the form...

These girls won't do a puzzle. They say "we can't do it". Where do you find the plastic canvas stuff? I was hoping some that was printed on or something to make it easier for them as starters. WM has canvas but just plain canvas that is it.

Maybe you could get the plastic canvas and then use permant marker to draw the picture or design on them to make it easier for them

We went through so many of these this summer with our SA that we should have bought stock in the company. They have a lot of designs online too, if they want to make something specific.

Last night we tried embroidery. Neither of them could seem to get how to even hold it or pull the needle up from the bottom in the right place. Then we tried the canvas. It was going great until I got up to make their snack and all of a sudden both of them said "I can't do it alone". GRR I need to find something to keep these two occupied.
