Once school lets out, it's a great time to make updates to kids' rooms. Not only does it let children personalize their own space with decor that reflects their growing personality, it's a great way to keep them busy with all that extra time to burn. Craft projects are a great way to pass time and let kids practice some of the lessons they left behind at school, without even realizing that's what they're doing. Crafting is about more than art and creativity, after all. Measuring and planning for certain projects puts math skills to the test, too. Let kids stretch their imagination with projects centered on a fresh, bright color palette that projects the excitement of youth and celebration. Creative projects, such as these fun and functional storage crates and wall art from the crafting experts at Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores, give your child's room an instant burst of energy. You can further embellish the room's decor with more kid-friendly projects, such as painting unfinished wood frames in coordinating colors to display photos, awards and other prized items. Or decorate a paper mache letter to personalize the space. For more kid's room craft ideas, visit www.joann.com.
