Hi! My name is Joy, and I am the founder and chief creator at “In the Bag Kids’ Crafts”. As a pediatric occupational therapist, I have developed a passion for helping parents truly connect with their children in meaningful ways through hands-on activities, while also helping kids develop skills needed to be successful in school and life. It is truly my belief that the best way to do that is through play, and especially through the creative process (like doing crafts)! But life is busy!!! So, I have designed a unique approach that makes creating with your family actually do-able and enjoyable, not just one more stress-filled thing on the to-do list. We do this by keeping the crafts simple and making each one from the SAME master list of supplies which fit into one bag. REALLY!
And now I have brought together your children's favorite animals and incorporated newspaper into the crafty designs! You will want to make every single one of these little gems...from the stuffed platypus...to the painted penguin with a newspaper tummy...to the newspaper songbirds mobile. It's time to start crafting memories with your family!
Crafting is just the thing!!! And you do not have to be particularly creative yourself to craft with your kids. We give you all the ideas that you need. Just fill your bag and craft along!

These newspaper themed crafts are best for kids ages 3 and up, though little ones may require additional assistance when completing their craft projects.
The time frame for each craft varies, starting with a simple 10 minutes craft to 30 minutes or more, depending on how much time you want to spend. You may want to make duplicates of some so that there is more opportunity for play later.
No problem! It's true that some kids don't take to crafting right away, especially ones that are high energy. But, in the end, I haven't found a kid that doesn't eventually love to make things. Just take it a little bit at a time. Let your kiddo explore the materials. Encouragement movement breaks. You can even use a timer to alternate between crafting and activities like having a snack or a dance break. Keep increasing the crafting time and reducing the movement time gradually to promote focus and attending skills. You will be happy that you stuck with it. The benefits of crafting together are exponential.
