I love it when my kids come up with their own crafts! This is an ongoing one my kids have made several times. They create “their own city.” They tape a bunch of 8 1/2 x 11 pieces of paper together, draw their own roads, swimming pools, lakes, buildings, and then add matchbox cars. It has kept them occupied for hours and they take so much pride in it!
My daughter made these all on our own when her younger siblings were napping. She used a craft boxes with different foam shapes she received as a birthday present. She made a pencil holder, bookmark, invitation and wall hanging. She used regular glue.
All of these crafts were made with household items I already had on hand. I did not spend any money!
I’m linking this Frugal Friday.

This is so cute! I used to make my own cities when I was a kid, too. It’s amazing more of us don’t grow up to be city planners.

My son has played with matchbox cars since he was 11 months old. I thought he would eventually get tired of them and move on to something else, but he still loves them! I find them everywhere–under couch cushions, in his bed, in the car–but at least they are easy to clean up and he can take them anywhere.
