Back to school looks a little different for everyone this year. No matter if it is at home or in the classroom, I am sharing 3 fun kid crafts on my weekly broadcast on the Crayola Facebook Page! Make sure to tune in every Tuesday at 1:00pm EST for 3 new crafts!
Shop all the supplies I am using for today's projects at Crayola.com
Project 1: Backpack Charms
Whether your kids are going to school virtually or in the classroom I am sure they still want a backpack. My daughter carries her backpack around the house all the time and she loves to add to flair!
Your kiddos can mold and make anything their heart desires with Model Magic! Model Magic is just that magic! It air dries overnight or you can put it in a zip-top bag and re-use it over and over again.
Once your kiddos make their favorite animal or shape let it dry overnight and then glue a flat back pin to the back and let the glue dry. Once dry pin it on their backpack!!!
Project 2: Make Lunch More Fun with Decorated Lunch Bags
Keep your kiddos busy on Sundays by letting them decorate their lunch bags for the week! They can either cut out shapes and create designs with construction and glue to the bag like I did with the monster and the cupcake or paint and color the bags! Not only does this give your kiddo some weekend craft time (and quiet time for you too) but a little more fun at lunchtime whether it is in the cafeteria or at home!
