Are you surviving the week? I sure hope so! If you are like me and have older children, then your kids are in school and the house is a tad quieter during the day. If you have older kids then you also are probably plagued by the incessant chorus of “Mom, I’m bored!” regularly. In the past, we have shared loads of ideas from IShare to keep little fingers busy, but what about the older ones? They sometimes need more of a challenge to express themselves creatively, so today we are sharing 10 terrific projects that are perfect for teens! Yay! Thanks to your amazing submissions to the IShare websites, there are plenty of ideas to be found. Let’s check out a few!
4R3Kids shares a super simple (i.e. even I can follow along) tutorial on how to make adorable, resuable, washable fabric notebook covers! This is the perfect way to teach basic sewing and really let your teen’s personality become a part of her every day!
Have a science nut in the family? Craftiments created these awesome pieces of free printable art. These would look amazing framed on his bedroom wall, or even just pinned up in his locker at school! These are so cool.

Not to mention the fact that they will be kept busy for hours – no smart phone required!

All teenagers have their stash of sentimental knick knacks, so why not help them make a personalized caddy like these from My Creative Escapes?
