Plastic Zip Top Bag Crafts

by Lynn Lilly, Mar 06 2023

The struggle is real trying to keep the kids entertained with what we have in the house! We are feeling it with Lily so I am trying to get as creative as possible to keep her 2 year rambunctious self happy. I am continuing my partnership with Crayola to help inspire families with at home crafts during my bi-weekly live broadcasts on their Facebook page. This week I am sharing three crafts you can do with zip top bags.
