Easy Crafts for Kids Made with Paper Bags
Paper bags…they’re not just for bagging lunch!
Crafters discovered years ago how a paper bag can come to life and make a little child giggle, laugh and grin!
Paper bag crafts (like these paper bag scarecrows) are a huge hit with the kids!
They’re simple, super-cute and seem to get more fun during the crafting process! <3
