Kid's crafts are our jam and there is nothing more fun than creating a paper bag craft using simple supplies like a lunch bag.

Let's Get Crafty!

If you are looking for a fun and unique craft idea to get your craft on, look no further! We can't go wrong with providing arts and crafts to keep little minds busy. I've got more than 15 ideas to turn a simple paper bag into a crafty kid's dream. You can even use grocery bags, lunch bags, or brown paper bags- reduce, reuse, and recycle!

What's better than using what you already have at home to pique your child's curiosity and creativity? It's a win-win- upcycle and keeps your kids busy so you can sit back and relax (or, let's face it, finish up your own chores!) Grab your favorite paper bag and let's get crafty!

We highlighted these Paper Crafts along with some other fun kid's crafts in our Summer Crafts along with our Kids Craft Ideas which has over 100 different craft ideas.

Paper Bag Crafts For Kids

There are so many creative opportunities with my paper bag crafts for kids! Whether you are looking to entertain your brown children or make paper bag crafts as a culminating activity for a classroom unit I have you covered.

Just finished a pirate adventure story? Grab a bag to make my pirate puppet- what a great way to connect to the book! Your child or student will be entertained and spark their imagination when they role-play with a paper bag puppet.

Want the children to work on writing? Put that grocery bag stash to use! (We all have the bag stash, right? Just me? Wink, wink… no judgment here!) Another great way to reuse is to have your kids create a paper bag book! They can help make it and then stay busy creating an original piece of literary genius (obviously- we would expect nothing less.)

Springtime Paper Bag Fun

Springtime is the best! The flowers are back, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and seriously, could all those new baby animals BE any cuter? We have a dove's nest outside and every spring I get to see the eggs turn into little hatchlings.

We have also had hummingbird nests, too, and those are quite possibly the tiniest and cutest things ever! I love watching from a distance and learning their habits and their nurturing. I suppose I'm a voyeur or bird- haha. Something about springtime makes me think so much of newness and gives me more optimism and hope.

And, of course, nothing says HAPPY more than springtime colors! If you're like me, you will want to grab a piece of rainbow color magic to add to your springtime home design. I especially love incorporating these HAPPY colors into some springtime home decor. There is no better way than to bring your kids in on the action. Keep their little hands and minds busy making a paper bag kite with that piece of rainbow. Watch your kids' faces light up as they create and then try to fly it on a beautiful spring day.

Endless Opportunities

I guarantee that you will find endless ways to spark creativity and find activities that your children will enjoy. These are great for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day, or every day! I can't wait to see all of the great ideas your littles will create, all from lunch bags!
