Kids Frugal Fun- Lunch Bag Photo Album

 

This is a Fun Frugal Kids project for you and your little ones to do, Thanks to Mama Loves Her Bargains!

Are you looking for a super fun, quick and easy craft to do with your kids this summer? Mama Loves Her Bargains ran across this idea on Homemade Serenity. Since the weather is getting nice and we are able to move our craft projects outdoors, I thought I would get brave and try out something with liquid watercolors. This rice coloring activity was right up my alley. Not only is it quick enough to keep the attention of my 2 year and 5 year old, but they will be able to play with it later in a sand table or large tupperware container.

Kids Frugal Fun- Lunch Bag Photo Album

 Thanks Mama Loves Her Bargains for this great tutorial of Hoe to make a Lunch Bag Photo Album!!

I love making crafts with and without my kids. Pre-kids, I had so much time to scrapbook and make photo projects, and to be honest, I've missed doing it. Recently a friend of mine, Jen, introduced me to the world of making paper lunch bags into photo albums, and I love them so much I felt like I had to share with you all! You can do these without photos if you want- what a cute idea for kids to make and showcase their own story for mom or grandma, or for a friend, and tuck momentos into the bag openings!
One thing I love about this project is that most of it can be done with things most of us have at home already, and little kids can make one too- we've made several and as long as I can get the holes punched and tie things together, my 3 and 5 year olds can do the rest solo!

Craft #1
Coffee Filter Earth
Materials
-coffee filters
-green and blue markers
-water

Directions:

1. Have your child color the coffee filter with blue and green markers.
2. Cut out a circle to represent the Earth.
3. Spray the coffee filter with water and allow to dry.
4. The final product is very delicate-use this to discuss with your child how delicate the Earth is and list ways to take care of it ( reduce, reuse, recycle, etc).

Craft #2
Nature Binoculars
Materials
-2 Toilet Paper Rolls
-Square Piece of Cardboard (from cereal or other food box) cut 2X6

Directions:
1. Decorate the toilet paper rolls and square in your own designs.
2. Glue the rolls to the edges of the 2X6 cardboard piece.
3. Explore your back yard with your child and their new binoculars. Discuss all the plants and animals and the things we can do to protect them (i.e. don't litter, use less water, etc).
