It has been a very long time from my previous post. Using paper we can make so many things with little creativity. Kids will always love to do fun things with paper. Coming to paper crafts we can use many kinds of paper like news paper, colour paper, crepe paper and etc. Why kids like paper crafts means these are very easy and simple to make. Today I have made months of the year chart for school project.

Things required

Construction Paper

Colour Paper

Scissor

Glue Stick

Funny Stickers

Glitter Glue

Firstly I took construction paper black in colour for the base. Then I cut colour paper and cut it into slits. I selected multi-colours and made slits. Wrote months names and applied glitter glue on the names. Put it dry for one full day because glitter glue will take more time to dry completely. Now paste all the slits on black colour construction paper. Stick some funny stickers on it to give nice look. Here is the chart ready.

Paper House Making

Paper House Making

Today I am going to show you how to make paper house making for kids. This is also very easy and simple paper crafts for kids. Take square shaped white paper and fold it to make 16 small square shapes. Give numbering to both top and bottom border squares as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Make sure to have all the squares should be in equal size.

Now using color pen or pencil mark the joining line 1 and 2 squares and do the same for the remaining squares too. So that you will get 6 lines including top and bottom lines. Cut those lines and glue them to make triangle shaped roof of the house on both top and bottom sides. First glue to 1^st sqaure and 3^rd square and stick them. Next glue to 2^nd square and 4^th square stick them too. Do the same process with the other squares too.

Once you finish making roof you will get shape of house without doors and windows. So now mark the doors and windows on front side of the house. Mark T shape for doors and I shape for windows and cut them carefully. Make the windows on back side too in the same way as we did in front side. Using sketch pens paint the house neatly as you like and some decorations to give it a realistic house look.

From the initial stage of kids schooling, majority of the schools have come up with lots of crafts and fun activities like paper crafts, drawing etc.
