I can't believe how fast this year is moving along. It is already spring break time. Your kiddos might be on spring break this week or gearing up for a week off. If you are celebrating spring break at home I know it might be a struggle to find activities to keep your kiddos entertained. This week on my Crayola Facebook broadcast I am sharing 3 crafts that are perfect for a spring break activity at home!
You can shop all the Crayola products I used in the projects below at Crayola.com
Project 1: Flip Flop Banner
Materials:
- Crayola Construction Paper

- Repeat steps 2-3 for how many flip flops you want on your banner.
- Use your markers and crayons to doodle and draw patterns on the flip flops.

Project 2: Paper Dolls and Carrying Case
When I was young I loved playing with paper dolls. I have not seen traditional paper dolls in a really long time so I thought I would bring back a homemade version. These are fun to make at home and then take on the road. I created all the templates so your kids can do the fun part! The best part is that if you snag the Crayola Colors of the World Crayons you kids can create dolls that look like them!
Materials:
- Crayola Construction Paper
- Crayola Colors of the World Crayons
- Crayola Markers
- Crayola Glue
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Paper Doll Templates
Directions:
- Download the paper doll templates. Cut out each template. Make sure to cut around the taps on the accessories and clothing.
- Trace the doll on white construction paper.
- Use the Colors of World Crayons to color the doll.
- Cut out the clothing, hair and accessories on construction. Use your markers to add decoration to them.
- Bend the tabs back on the accessories to fit around the dolls. Switch out the accessories and have fun playing with your dolls.
If you want the outfits to be permanent use the glue stick to glue the tabs to the back of the doll.
Every doll needs a fun place to keep their clothes. Create a paper envelope or suitcase to store the dolls and all their accessories.
Project 3: Model Magic Magnets
Decorate your refrigerator or a magnetic board with fun sculptures.
Materials:
- Crayola Model Magic in a variety of colors
- Crayola Washable Glue
- Magnets
Have fun making your favorite things from spring! Create a flip flop or an airplane or a potted flower.
Let your creation dry overnight. Use the glue to a glue a magnet to the back.
Happy Spring Break!
