Paper Crafts for Kids

Paper Apples, a Scarecrow, and Papier Mache Fish

Just look at the beautiful creations that kids can make from paper!

The Class Act Apple is easy to make to make from a brown paper grocery bag, and would be excellent as a teacher appreciation gift or a fall decoration for your home.

Make the Paper Towel Tube Scarecrow from – you guessed it – a paper towel tube, embellished with felt, buttons, and a cheery bandanna.

Both these attractive paper projects were submitted by Amanda Formaro, the talented creative force behind Family Corner Magazine

My maiden name was Fisher, so fish are a family symbol for me. I was captivated when I first saw these Papier Mache Fish and I’m delighted to be able to share them with you. All you will need to make one of your own is a small balloon, paper strips and a simple papier mache recipe.
