As working parents we live a busy life! I'm sure we can all relate to the fact that we don't always have time to engage in hands on crafts with our children. Of course we want to but time is sometimes a factor. Sometimes we need our kids to entertain themselves while we get some work done.
I don't know about you but I don't always have time to prepare an in-depth craft for my children. Today's post is all about crafts that you can quickly put together for your children and will entertain them while you get some work done! Giving your child a craft is a much better option than sticking them in front of the TV or trying to work while answering a million questions.
