Fun Activities for Older Kids
Elementary school kids are creative, capable, and so much fun! Sometimes they just need a good idea for how to spend their time. Generally kids in grade school or primary school are between 6-12 and that is what we targeted with these ideas.
Pssst…having fun with kids ages 6-12 is easy because they like the same things as we do!
We have activity ideas for all personality types and skill level. Indoor activities, outside activities, games, crafts, and even screen-time recommendations.

WHAT ARE SOME GOOD CRAFTS FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KIDS?
Middle school kids can make some great crafts. We love crafts because they provide hours of entertainment and provide a sense of accomplishment. We think that art activities for kids of any age should be with free or inexpensive materials and supplies — especially those that you already have on hand. Kids can learn to get creative with these arts & craft supplies and make something completely unique to them.
