Use Your Yarn Animal SculpturesTake a moment to reflect on the past year, and ask yourself: What was your favorite new toy you got? Which was the best meal you ate? Who did you become best friends with? What was your favorite craft that you made?

Chances are, your favorite craft is one of our favorite crafts. Check to see if you can find it below. If you can't, well then you are in for a treat, for only better crafts are to come in your future. If you do see your pick, then you've got great taste, and we've got some other awesome crafts to match. We have gathered the Top 50 Fun and Easy Crafts for Kids by tracking your likes and dislikes. You can't go wrong with any of the crafts that made it onto this elite list of the most popular crafts of 2012. As this is AllFreeKidsCraft's first year, these crafts are making history, and so are you.

This year, you loved many of the Christmas crafts, Thanksgiving crafts, and Halloween crafts. What a holiday bunch you are! That means that come October 2013, you're going to know all of the absolute best projects to make. And who says you can't be thankful in July or spook out Grandma in March? Holidays are all-year-long these days, so if you get the sudden urge for inspiration in the form of an ornament (your number one craft!) in April, then by all means, there is no better time.

Green crafting has been a huge hit this year, and you kiddos were right on trend. Crafting with recycled materials will no doubt continue to rise in popularity, so make sure you've made all of the most popular and affordable recycled crafts. Helping the environment is always in style, and so is learning. We admire your ambitions; how to finger knit, sew, and finger crochet were among the must-make crafts of the year. While learning with crafts is a ton of fun, having fun with crafts is even more fun. Do not miss out on having a glowingly wonderful bathtime or making your own boogers. Kids will be kids!

If you missed out on any of the top 50 crafts, you didn't actually miss out. There is no deadline for the best, so get started now, and show all of your friends that you've got crafting style.
