Encourage your kids to be creative and resourceful with these easy peasy crafts!

Doing arts and crafts with the kids can sometimes get a bit pricey — especially when it comes to buying all the supplies. Here’s the thing: it doesn’t have to be expensive. Using what we have at home not only teaches our kids creativity but also being resourceful. Here’s an idea: using recycled materials for your next art project!

So parents, get out all your newspapers, egg cartons and paper plates and turn ’em into something fun! Enjoy!
