Paper Bag Crafts for Kids
Doing arts and crafts is fun, and it doesn't even have to cost a lot of money. Often, the best craft projects use things that most people have around the house. Paper bags are one of those things. One nice thing about making crafts with paper bags is that it's a way to reuse a bag once you're done using it to take your lunch to school or bring home groceries from the store. Rather than just tossing a paper bag into the recycle bin when you're done with it, you could use it to make all sorts of neat things!
