Passive Craft Table: Pufferfish Stick Puppet

 Last summer, I put out a craft table that was available all day long.  The intention of this passive table was to walk up and help yourself to the intended craft.  

 

At this craft table we made simple stick puppets that looked like a pufferfish.  I was inspired to make this craft after seeing it on the Kids Craft Room blog at https://kidscraftroom.com/cupcake-liner-puffer-fish-craft/.  My library had all of the supplies on hand except for the cupcake liners and googly eyes, so it was a rather inexpensive craft project.  

 Supplies:

• Craft sticks (I used the larger ones)
• Paper circles (I used a die cutting machine to make these)
• Cupcake liners
• Scissors
• Coloring pens
• Glue sticks
• Googly eyes

 While this craft table was not busy, the creations that came from it were fabulous!  

Passive Craft Table: Turtle Craft

 

This past summer, I put out a craft table that was available all day long.  The intention of this passive table was to walk up and help yourself to the intended craft.  

This craft table was put up to create a turtle.  I found it online at Crafty Morning (https://www.craftymorning.com/cupcake-liner-turtle-craft-kids/ ).

Supplies:

-         White cupcake liners

-         Coloring pens

-         Green strips of craft foam (the website suggested using paper, which I think is a better option, but I had craft foam I wanted to use up)

-         Googly eyes

-         Rubber stamps and stamp pads

 

These turtles were very simple to make and decorate.  They were a low cost, low staff intensive activity with fun results!
