With Halloween right around the corner, we're on the look-out for fun and spooky crafts to do with the kids. As we've shown before, the cardboard tubes that are in toilet paper rolls are great for crafting! Instead of wall art, we are making favor boxes (We actually came across this idea last year, but never got around to making them). The best part is that all the supplies we needed were ones we could find around the house!What You Need:
- cardboard toilet paper tubes
- acrylic paint
- glue
- construction paper, glitter, sequins, pipe cleaners...anything thing you might like to use to decorate your boxes with!
Using construction paper, glitter, glue, sequins and googly eyes, they turned the cardboard tubes into a cat, pumpkin and ghost!
Then fill your tubes with tasty treats, fold the ends, and get ready to party! We are thinking of using these at our family Halloween party, but think they would also be fun to pass out as classroom treats!
KA-YOOT!!! Y'all are jusr awesome!!

ReplyDeleteYES! I love this. My daughter and her friends were looking for something to do for Halloween. They're 19, but they want to take their projects to the local homeless shelter so the kids there have Halloween treats too - so these are just too cute, easy, and thrifty! LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteThese are the cutest! I hope you'll stop by and share them at the Pretty Packages Party!
