Good Housekeeping Is Hosting Free Craft Classes for Kids on Facebook

Handicrafts are our strength, so leave the talented team behind the best covers, home stories and DIY ideas from Good Housekeeping teach you and your children how to do some Pinterest worthy handicrafts. Visit our stylists, designers, and do-it-yourselfers every Wednesday and Friday at 3:00 p.m. EST a Facebook page of Good Housekeeping as we walk you through one fun idea after another.

All of our handicrafts contain items that you already have at home or that you can easily grab. Think clothespins, nail polish, rubber bands, and toilet paper rolls. And don’t worry, if you can’t be with us in real-time, our videos will be stored in our timeline and video area so you can tinker with us when you’re ready.
