Sparkle and Shine! 7 Glitter Crafts For Kids of All Ages

Kids love glitter, but we understand mom's reluctance to go too crazy with the sparkly stuff at craft time. 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 glitter initial necklaces, disco balls, and chevron wall art. Check out some of our favorite glitter crafts here and get ready to shine on!
