These awesome cereal box crafts are perfect for kids, teens, and adults, but most importantly, you can reuse what you make.
Crafts from cereal boxes
Cereal box journals
Over at Harper Kids, I’m sharing a fun book craft that makes storytime extra fun. After you’ve read, How to Read a Book by Kwame Alexander, have the kids make their own handmade cereal box journals. Encourage them to write and illustrate their own book with your help.
The Lorax cereal box craft
If you click the link and visit Kids Activities blog, you will find the instructions to make my The Lorax craft. It’s the perfect upcycling project for Earth Day. What kind of items will your kids collect and store in their box? Take them on an adventure to find little items such as bottle caps. I have a friend who collects broken pieces of plastic on the beach and repurposes it to make art.
Shark pull-string piñatas
These shark piñatas are my latest craft project at Kids Activities Blog for Shark Week or a shark-themed birthday party. Fill them with yummy snacks that if the kids don’t finish they can take home with them.
Movie theater-inspired food trays
You don’t need to go to the movie theater to enjoy fun movie night snacks. Make your own movie theater food trays at home, set up a projector outside, and watch a movie from the comfort of your own home.
DIY gift bags
You can turn cereal boxes and other cardboard boxes into homemade gift bags? It’s so easy, and a great way to repurpose empty boxes from your pantry. Grab my instructions to make your own at The Centsible Life.
