Photo frames are a very simple craft that can be made by children of all ages. Kids will love creating their own one-of-a-kind frames to display their pictures in. These frames can be used to decorate their bedrooms or can even be given as gifts. Here are several easy to make frame ideas for you and your children to try:

Twig Frame
A twig frame is extremely easy to make and is appropriate for children of any age. To create a twig frame you will need:
Twigs
Twine
Photo
Hot Glue
1. Help your child gather 12 twigs that are equal in length.
2. Separate the twigs into four groups of three twigs. This is a great activity for very young children to practice their counting skills.
3. Arrange the twigs so that two of the groups are lain out vertically with the other two groups lain out horizontally on top of them. The twigs should be far enough apart to place a photo in the center and approximately one inch of twig should stick out away from the frame in each direction.
4. Use twine to tie the corners of the twigs together.
5. Flip the photo frame over. Use a hot glue gun to glue the photo into place.

Foam FrameMagnet
Foam frames are very fun to make but will require help from an adult for younger children. These adorable frames can be hung on your filing cabinets or refrigerator. To make a photo frame you will need:
Piece of craft foam in any color
Magnet
Scissors
Magnet
Glue
Buttons or sequins
1. Help your child cut a fun shape out of the foam. It does not matter what shape it is, but some ideas to consider are circles, squares and stars.
2. Cut a hole in the center of the foam piece that is the same shape as the outside of the foam. The inside hole should be large enough to display a photo in.
3. Flip the foam over. Glue the photo onto the back of the frame so that it shows through the front.
4. Have your child glue the buttons or sequins onto the frame in any pattern they choose.
5. Glue the magnet onto the back of the frame.

Puzzle Pieces
Craft Paint
Glue
Photo
Paintbrushes
Newspaper

3. Allow the puzzle pieces to dry thoroughly before moving on.

5. Use glue to connect each piece.
