Crafts for Kids

‘The thing that is great about teaching craft projects to kids is that not only are you allowing them to be creative and come up with their own ideas, but it also gives you the opportunity to show them how to reuse and not be wasteful. The craft project that I am about to show you is a great example of this, as the main ingredient is a sandwich bag box that would normally be thrown out. The name of this project is “Sandwich Box Monster”. The idea is when you have run out of sandwich bags and are left with an empty box, you can create a cute monster with the supplies below. This project is great for kids as young as 5 years old. For directions on how to make your monster look like the one in the photo below, please click here and let us know how yours turns out!
