Hot Air Balloon Kids Crafts

Hot Air Balloon Kids Craft

My son loves hot air balloons so this Hot Air Balloon Kids Craft is just perfect for him. It’s quick, easy, and cheap. Gotta love that. I suppose for birthday party decorations, you could even use real helium! I’d let the kids decorate the balloons and the “basket” with stickers and glitter. Added to Kids Crafts

Who would ever guess that this pretty wreath is made of Toilet Paper Rolls?? The photo shows it unpainted for a rustic look, but you could easily paint it for spring or for holidays. Red poinsettias, maybe? Oh, and it’s easy enough for kids to make, too. Added to Recycled Crafts and Kids Crafts.
