When my kids were little they had a fascination with sponges. No matter if they were new or used (yuck!), they seemed to always find them and carry them all over the house. I have found sponges in the oddest places at times, which led me to buy them in bulk. And, of course, they found those too!

Thankfully they are pretty cheap and you can even pick them up at the dollar store, which comes in handy when you’re on a budget. Or when your little ones like to hoard them on a regular basis.

Huge List of Sponge Crafts & Activities for Kids

One thing I loved letting my little ones do was create and use their imaginations. There are so many different things they can see that we, as adults, often overlook. That’s what I love about sponges. They are easy to use, easy to clean and make for easy projects to create.

Even though my oldest two have somewhat ‘outgrown’ crafts, they love to get in on the action when we use sponges. I don’t know if its because they are so easy to use or because of the project itself, but I love seeing what they come up with. 

Check out these sponge crafts & activities for every season, holiday and all ages!
