Keeping kids engaged without using screens during the summer break is certainly a very difficult task. Here are 6 fun paper craft ideas that you can try out with your kids to keep them occupied.
This is a classic paper craft that has been going on for centuries. Kids can express their creativity by using different coloured paper, stickers, tapes, etc. Allow them to carry out this activity independently to help them hone their motor skills.
This is a great craft to recycle your old paper and repurpose it to make bracelets. Take any paper that is waste and cut a band out of it. Let your kids decorate this with glitter, coloured pens, beads etc. They can wear these paper bracelets or use it for their soft toys or dolls.
Children love to pretend to be prince and princesses while playing. What is a better option than letting them design their own crowns? Take a chart paper, preferably golden or silver in colour. Measure the head of your child and help them cut a crown accordingly. Give them shiny beads, tapes and glitter to decorate their crown and feel special.
A very easy, yet beautiful paper craft that your child can use to decorate their room. Take a paper and safety scissors. Fold the paper in half and start cutting strips at a distance of 1cm from the closed edge side. Make sure that you don’t cut the paper till the end, leave at least a two-inch border. Now open the paper, fold it to make a circle and secure with tape.
A fun craft that would make you feel nostalgic about your childhood. Cut a paper in the shape of a kite, let your kids draw on it with coloured pens or sketch pens. In order to support the paper paste thin twigs on the back side of it. Tie a thread to it and let your kids enjoy playing with a kite made by them.
