HOW TO HELP NEEDY AND SICK KIDS WITH ARTS AND CRAFTS

(2) Artists - You can help us by painting murals on canvas, at hospitals/shelters/clinics, or by helping us with sketches for mural designs. Please visit our volunteer page to find out more about how you can help.

(3) Kids and Adults with a Creative Spark - Create Bags and Cuddly Dolls - We are filling up bags full of art supplies and cuddly animals to ship off to very ill children in hospitals. We have tons of art supplies, but not enough cuddly animals and bags. We are looking for canvas, cloth, or knitted bags to put the art supplies and cuddly animals in. We are also looking for handmade knitted, crocheted, and sewn cuddly animals, dolls, puppets, and other handmade toys. There is no greater way to show you care than to make a cuddly toy or beautiful bag for a sick or needy child. We have collected Knitting and Sewing Patterns for all of you to help. Please visit our Knitting / Sewing / Crocheting Page.

(4) Hold a Bear Making Party - Do you want to brighten up the day of a sick child? How about holding a Charity Teddy Bear Making Party. Gather up your friends, classmates, coworker, birthday party invitees, or other person ... Make and stuff a teddy bear for a needy child. Find out what wonderful things can happen when people come together with love in their hearts .... hold a Bear Making Party and you will see. Find out More Here.

(5) Paint Cotton Tote Bags - You can Purchase Cotton Tote Bags and Paint them with Fabric Paint. They are sold here for as low as $.60 per peice. If you can't afford to donate them to us, you can send to us your receipt and we will reimburse you for the bags. (Mention that you are from ArtistsHelpingChildren.org and they may lower the shipping to $3.50)

(6)Make a Foam Tote Bag - No Sewing Involved - There is an arts and crafts activity that you can do that will help us greatly. You can make Foam Tote Bags - No Sewing Involved!! Check it out.

(7) Hold a Paint-a-Mural - Community organizations are instrumental in helping us bring beautiful murals in to as many institutions as we can. Paint-a-Mural events are entertaining, stress-relieving, and a great way to bond with local community members. Just think of the smiles that you will put on the children's faces, and you will know that you want to help. Find out More.

(8) It would be wonderful if you could make homemade cards to put in the bags to the children. This could help cheer up a lonely or sad child.

(9) Hold a Funddrive or a Arts and Crafts / Stuffed Animal Collection - Get your school, camp, religious organization, etc involved in holding a drive to collect either funds, arts and crafts items, or stuff animals for our cause.
