They say when all you have is a hammer all your problems start looking like nails. But what happens if all you have are lots and lots of nails. You go find a hammer and do a bunch of awesome nail crafts for kids, that's what! A great one that sets you up for a night of keeping your fingers busy is making a weaving loom by evenly spacing out small nails on a wooden square. You can also use a nail to puncture holes in a metal can in a pattern or picture, popping the nail out each time. Then after, put a candle or string a light in the can and you have a perfect decoration. Remember that nail crafts especially ones that include candles should only be done with parental supervision, and lit candles should not be left without a responsible person watching them.
