I picked out these craft projects for elementary school kids, those kids from around age 6 to age 11. Some are educational and others are just fun! The best judge as to whether your child can handle these crafts or not is you. Your goal is to have them enjoy themselves without getting frustrated. For this age group, you might also want to check out craft projects for kindergartners or craft projects for tweens. If you have other age groups you want to find craft projects for, check out my lists of favorite crafts for different ages. For even more craft fun with your elementary-aged kids, check out these craft kits.
