Ceramics is a fun and exciting craft to indulge in for adults on their free time, but it can be much more exciting for the young adults and children in the family. As we all know ceramic creations are never ending and when you put a child’s mind into the equation, the creations go beyond anyone's imagination. When creating ceramic crafts with a child it is important to take in to consideration the age and interests of the child when choosing a project. Some great ceramic craft ideas for you and your child are listed below.
Holiday Crafts:
The specific times of year that all children look forward to Christmas, Easter and Halloween.

Cartoon Characters:
Do your kids always ask for a certain toy or article of clothing that has their favourite cartoon character on it? Are you tired of the all the begging when you are 99.9% sure they have everything created by that particular show? The answer is simple. Ceramics. Just go online and find a clear picture of the character your child is requesting and start planning out your gift that will brighten your child's day. Be sure to hide the fact that what you are creating together is a surprise for them. Than, watch as their face lights up as their favourite cartoon character slowly starts to come to life. The moment will surely be priceless.
