The first one falls under the "tried and true" category for sure... paper bag puppets!
I got a bunch of brown paper bags for free a while ago and the first thing I thought of was this old project. Kids can do this if they are really young and big kids (like Mason and I) enjoy it too. Since Gavin isn't a skilled cutter yet, I had to help turn his ideas into a reality. He wanted to make a t-rex so I cut out a basic head shape, a piece for the bottom of his mouth and two arms. After that it was all about colouring and glue so Gavin took over from there!
Here is what we made:
I love sitting down as a family to make things, Mason always surprises me with his enthusiasm once he gets into it! :)

Those are super cute! I'm super impressed with Gavin's T-Rex :)
I love any kids crafts that make use of recycled items, like egg cartons or milk cartons... or paper bags like these!
When I worked for the after school program, I loved easy crafts. Easy or edible -- gah! They loved edible crafts.
