The only thing better than making fun crafts with your kids is getting free craft materials with the stuff you have to buy anyway, like say shoes. Shoeboxes make a great base for lots of useful and creative crafts. Here are a few fun ones to try with your left over clog containers.
1-Lion Book/Magazine Holder
Have a roaring good time making this cute and handy box with your kids. This is a great way to contain smaller books on a large bookshelf or wall shelf.
Piggy Bank
Teach your child creativity and the value of a dollar with one fun craft. You can wrap the box and lid together to ensure that the savings stay in there or you can wrap them separately for easy access and counting.
Puppet Theater
Let your kids role play for hours with this homemade theater box. They can make puppets of their favorite characters or even themselves using photographs.
Play Mailbox
Kids love to get mail. Make this little box and slip all of you junk mail in there like a real mailman. Maybe once in a while you can even slip a sweet note int there.
Practice Shoe
This is a great craft to help your child practice their shoe tying skills. It is easier for little hands to practice bigger, more handy laces.
