Things You’ll Need:
Basic starter kit. (You can always add to your supplies as your ideas, projects grow)
Scissors
Glue
Markers
Crayons
Paper
Contrustion Paper (optional)
Anything else according to whatever your project is.
Step1Looking for something fun, creative to do with your children try doing crafts. There are thousands of simple craft ideas to do you don't have to be wizard at doing crafts. When I started this with my kids I could barely glue something together let alone anything else.
Step2To get started try looking for a theme. What I do with my kids is we find something new each week. For example one week it might be play dough so if we decide were going to do play dough we might do animals, people, etc. the ideas are endless.
Step3When you have more than one child like in my family of 4 children two boys two girls you kind of have to find something for everyone. I will admit this can be a chandelle but it can be done. All my children love the bead art bead art is simply beads and a thin piece of string you can usually find this in the arts and crafts sections like wal-mart and alot of times you can find kits that have the beads and strings and even instructions with alot ideas to get you started.
Tips & Warnings
Another good way to find ideas is reading to your children sometimes ideas will spark while you are reading. For example if there is a certain character the kids seem to like or if there is a meaning inside the story.
Another good one is the old die hard macaroni art it's always popular with the kids. (This must be supervised with small children in ensuring they don't try to eat the uncooked macaroni which can cause them to choke.)

Who knew the empty box that holds your sandwich bags could make such a cute little monster? Instead of throwing those boxes away, make this (and several other monsters) for your room. Try different colors and make an assortment!

What you'll need:
2 sheets of light blue construction paper
1 sheet of white paper
2 cups from a cardboard egg carton
¼ sheet black constriction paper
White and black acrylic paint
Glue stick
Scissors
Empty sandwich bag box
Glitter glue or sparkly fabric paint
Black marker
Pencil
How to make it:
Because there are various brands and types of sandwich bags there is no pattern for this craft. Use the box as your guide to cut the construction paper around the “mouth” area.
Cover the box completely with light blue construction paper, leaving the hole for the mouth.
Paint the egg cups white and set aside to dry.
Using the box opening as a guide, cut out two curved shapes from white paper, similar to a banana shape, for the teeth. Use black marker to draw lines on teeth.
Glue the teeth to the inside of the box opening.
Cut two feet from light blue construction paper, a simple shape of three rounded toes works great, just be sure to leave enough room to glue them to the bottom of the box.
Cut 6 small triangles from white paper for the claws and glue to the back side of the feet, one on each toe.
Glue the feet to the bottom of the box.
Check to see if the egg cups are dry and paint a black dot in the center of each one. Let dry.
Cut out a long curved tail from light blue construction paper and glue to the bottom of the box near the back. The curve in your shape will make it look like the tail is wrapping around the monster.
Cut out two 1” squares from the black construction paper.
Cut eyelashes from one side of each square using a cut pattern similar to making grass blades. Glue eyelashes to the back of the egg cups.
When egg cups are dry, trim one side off (see finished craft photo) so that you can glue the eye to the box. The egg cup should now have one side that is “flat” and can be glued to the top of the box, above the mouth.
Finish this project by adding spots with either glittery fabric paint in a tube (so you can “write” with it) or with glitter glue.
Tips:
Remember to paint your egg cups early in this craft so that your child can work on the rest of the project while they dry.
Try different colors of construction paper for different monsters. Match them up with your child’s bedroom décor or simply make a colorful family of monsters.
To create the opening for the mouth, lay the box, open end down, onto the construction paper. Use a pencil to trace the opening, and then tip the box the other way to trace the other side. Be sure that the opening you cut is smaller than the opening of the box, this way none of the box will show through.
With a few craft sticks, some paint, and a lot of imagination, your child can have a personalized door hanger to call their own. This project is simple and it’s fun to make.
