A craft is a skill, especially involving practical arts. It may refer to a trade or particular art.

The term is often used as part of a longer word (and also in the plural). For example, a craft-brother is a fellow worker in a particular trade and a craft-guild is, historically, a guild of workers in the same trade. See some further examples below.

The term is often used to describe the family of artistic practices within the decorative arts that traditionally are defined by their relationship to functional or utilitarian products (such as sculptural forms in the vessel tradition) or by their use of such natural media as wood, clay, glass, textiles, and metal. Crafts practiced by independent artists working alone or in small groups are often referred to as studio craft. Studio craft includes studio pottery, metal work, weaving, wood turning and other forms of wood working, glass blowing, and glass art.

A craft fair is an organized event to display crafts by a number of exhibitors.

Folk art follows craft traditions, in contrast to fine art or "high art".

Both Freemasonry and Wicca are known as 'The Craft' by their adherents.

What are some ideas of crafts that babysitters can do with kids?
Q. In the summer I nanny a 10 year old boy. Most of the time he plays video games and stuff, but I try to do activities and crafts with him. And I have run out of ideas of things to do with him. Any ideas?

A. You could visit and see if there are any craft projects that spark his interest. Boys are sometimes not as excited about crafts as girls, but some are. You can find banners, cards, recycling crafts, puppets, etc. there. Another suggestion would be to go to the library and get a kids cookbook, or a gross science experiment book (like making slime) or even a paper airplane book with lots of models, or even an origami book. I hope these suggestions help!
