Kids love glitter, but we understand mom's reluctance to go too crazy with the sparkly stuff at craft time [1]. Sure, it's messy (tip: a sticky lint roller is great for cleanup), but it's totally worth it — especially when you're creating one of these awesome, kid-friendly projects. Young kids will love homemade sparkly play dough, while tweens and teens will go crazy for DIY [2] glitter initial necklaces, disco balls, and chevron wall art. Check out some of our favorite glitter crafts here and get ready to shine on!
