Woven Yarn Friendship Bracelets by Handmade Charlotte – Friendship bracelets can be made so many different ways. I just love the look of these woven yarn ones that are easy to create and come out looking professionally made.
Candy Kabobs by Oh Happy Day – This is a delicious craft to get creative with and potentially enjoy any leftover materials. Yum! You could do themed candy Kabobs perfect for a party favour or sell them at a bake sale.
Sock Puppets by Super Simple – Who doesn’t love a cute sock puppet? There are many reasons I love to use puppets with my kids, some include singing songs, telling stories, sharing important messages, modelling good behaviours and so much more. These would be so fun and easy to make and for sure to grab the attention of any parent or child.
Bath Bombs by Kids Crafts by Three Sisters – There’s nothing I love more than a warm bath on a cold day, and if you add in something that smells great and helps me relax, then I will for sure be purchasing. That is why these beautiful bath bombs would be a great idea to make and sell with your children.

There are so many customizable options, such as colors, symbols, motivational quotes, and, of course, names.
Crayon Candles by STEAM Project For Kids – I think most households with children would say they have several broken crayons thrown out weekly. Well, this is a great way to reuse those and turn them into something that is beautiful and can make a profit. Check out how STEAM Project For Kids added an extra educational piece to make these candles use a science investigation. 
Hand Made Cards – A homemade greeting card business would for sure be a hit. Cards are used for so many different occasions, and people love it when they have that added personal touch. Take a look at our past blog post to get inspiration on over 25 card ideas.
