33 Kids' Paper Craft Projects Craft projects are the perfect activity to keep little ones busy, and it doesn't hurt that they love them. Sometimes, though, the crafts that their creative minds pick require tons of supplies that you may not own. While you can run to the store every time your artists want to make a craft with never-before-seen materials, you can also suggest that they see what they can do with paper. Amazingly, your imaginative crafters will never run out of kids' paper craft projects. But, if they do, we're right here for you.

If you think paper is simply a disposable surface to draw on, you are in for a pleasant surprise. Load up on the affordable craft material, and you'll soon be surrounded by paper in its numerous forms. After those crafty little hands have made their fair share of kids' paper craft projects, you'll find paper as beads on a necklace, fireworks decorating the sky, adorable and unique party invitations, 3D animals swinging from trees, a beautiful bouquet and more. In some cases, it may be so disguised and reworked that you won't even realize that it's paper. It's amazing what an imagination can make out of an everyday item.

With the go green effort, you'll hear cries to stop using paper because you're killing the trees. We, at AllFreeKidsCrafts, are all about green crafting, so when possible, feel free to use scraps of paper, the other side of an old sheet, or newspaper. If only a crisp, brand new piece of paper will work, then use it! You're not wasting paper if you're using it to create a memorable kids' paper craft project.

Kids will love watching paper become a frog, a shirt, and an airplane, especially when it's by their own hands. Fold, snip, print, roll, and trace your way through 33 Kids' Paper Craft Projects, which are sure to astound you.
