Craft Roundup: Simple, Colorful Creations to Make with Kids

Craft projects that are easy to make – or produce a clean, simple outcome – are often some of my favorites to make for myself or with my nephews. If they don’t require a lot of steps, I’m definitely interested! In this week’s roundup, we focus on projects that are simple in nature with hints of color along the way, from summer-friendly DIY jump ropes to pompom balloons that your children will want bunches of.
