Updated: Mar 2


Are you looking for a simple and enjoyable craft project to do with children? Look no further!

The most delightful arts and crafts often utilize the simplest materials, and split pins (also known as paper fasteners) are a perfect example. With just a few basic supplies, you can create a charming family scene including a mother, father, children, a baby, and even a dog.


Materials Needed

  • Colored paper

  • Pencils or markers

  • Split pins (paper fasteners)

  • Scissors

  • Glue (optional)


Steps to Create Your Craft

  1. Begin by drawing the shapes of the family members and the dog on colored paper. Encourage the children to be creative with their designs.

  2. Once the shapes are drawn, carefully cut them out.

  3. Use the split pins to attach the limbs of the figures, allowing them to move and pose. This adds a fun interactive element to the craft!

  4. If desired, you can use glue to add additional decorations or features to your characters.


This craft not only fosters creativity but also helps develop fine motor skills as children cut, draw, and assemble their creations. Enjoy crafting together!
