Paper Bag Challenge and a linky
(I actually had to make a point to get some paper bags from the store…. I guess that’s the down side to all of those reusable bags. 😉 )
I loved the way that Tinkerlab set out the material already altered in the Magazine Challenge. So this time I tried to think of several different ways to present these Paper Bags.
I cut up a paper bag. Crumpled some. Punch holes to make paper bag circles. Cut some strips and set everything out for the M and M to see while they ate snack.
Little M’s area quickly looked like this… can you count the creative projects in the works here?
Big M grabbed an old gum box out of the art cabinet.
I watched quietly as he cut off the top.
He measured the box and started cutting… hmmm.
Big M stapled five square pieces of paper bag together and announced.“It’s a coloring book!”
We worked together to decorate the outside of the gum box.
Big M awarded me this adorable coloring book.. to keep in my purse . All that was left was to add the coloring pages.
Big M made a star.
Little M made a unicorn.

Such a cute idea!!! I love how you set it up ahead of time with the materials tweaked a bit. Fabulous idea
It was really a great way to present the activity. (I can’t take the credit though, Tinkerlabs idea. 😉 )
Love the idea of altering the basic material a bit before presenting it to the little crafters:) The book is great! And yes, we too use only recylable bags so had to borrow bags for the challenge 😉
Thank you Roopa! I love your animal bags! so cute.
I love giving materials to kids to see what they create. Their ideas are always awesome!
Absolutely!
LOVE the mini-coloring book!!! I’m super impressed. 🙂
Ahhh! I will tell him. 😉
