There are many great sites online for kids'' crafts, but this is one of my favorites: makingfriends.com/ If they are older kids you could do some basic origami (origami-instructions.com/ simple-origami.html) or cool paper air planes (paperairplanes.co.uk/ planes.php). (Do a search for either topic) This time of year you can cut paper strips and let the kids make paper chains. Make your strips about 1 " wide and the length of the colored paper. Use school glue sticks and rub a bit of glue on one end of the strip and glue it together to make a ring. Take the next strip and put it through the ring, then glue it's ends together to make another ring and so on to make a chain. Decorate the kids' rooms or home for Christmas or other occasions. Have fun!
