Easy crafts for kids and seniors

My grandkids and I love to do crafts but being in the Sandwich Generation, my time and energy is often limited, so EASY is my favorite word for crafts. Many of these also make great crafts for elderly seniors who love to create but don't have as much energy as in the past.

What fun and easy crafts for kids and us seniors helping them. And think about it - we could do this for the New Year with 2012 on it, Valentine's with hearts, St. Patrick's with shamrocks or leprechauns... :)

This sparked the fun idea for my grandson and me to have fun with his Jenga blocks - it didn't come out as great looking as this, but it did make for a delightful time and plenty of sweet family memories. Isn't it fun when inspiration for one thing will hit when you look at someone else's inspired idea. :)
