Five paper bag puppets for Hallowe’en fun!
What is included:
4 creatures (witch, dracula, Frankenstein, scarecrow and a ghost)
a simple writing activity has been prepared which can be placed on the back of each creature (grade 1 or 2 or 3) JK and K can just make the paper bag puppets and not do the writing activities.
Have created these so that something from each creature will hang over the base of the Halloween paper bag puppet.
please look at the preview

paper, scissors, glue, colouring pencils
brown paper bags (I bought mine in Michigan USA at a dollar store. They come 40 in a bag for $1.)

Two really fun options for your students to create a Back To School Backpack
Option #1 - Use all of the templates provided and students will craft their own backpacks.
Option #2 - Begin with a paper bag and use the templates provided to create a paper bag backpack.
Both great options ... you decide which is a better option for your students.
There are many options for writing activities included:
- on the straps
- on the front cover
- a secret pocket which students complete inserts and drop into the pocket
- 5 interactive templates created so you can have students tell you more about themselves, what makes them happy, what they are good at, a little about their family, a goal for the year, find someone who ... likes/can/wants to etc.
- have used graphics for boys and for girls
What you need:
Paper (light cardstock would be extra special), coloring pencils, glue, paper bags (if that is the option you choose)
I have included step by step directions and visuals to assist you in assembling these backpacks.
Also, view the YouTube video on how to assemble these backpacks at: https://youtu.be/_CC35oQPdho
Look at the video and decide which backpack is better suited for your students - the paper bag backpack for the little ones, the regular backpack for students in the older grades.
You must save this file on your computer. Then open and print on 8 1/2 x 14 (legal size) paper. Otherwise, your product will not be set up properly.
Hope you love it! The completed backpack will stand about 8" tall. Use it all year long and have students complete items and drop them into their backpacks!
You'll have so much fun with this craft! Yes .. that Tea Cup is 3D!
Drop a Tea Bag into the decorated Tea Cup for Mom, Mum, Grandma, Sister, etc. There are 9 templates to choose from. Something for everyone!
Includes 2 components:
1 - Students begin with the Tea Cup Template.
2 Students choose from 9 different Tea Cup / Tea Bag options. They write a message to their loved on the Tea Bag and drop it into the decorated Tea Cup.
Requires: Paper, coloring pencils, scissors and glue (recommend glue stick).
As an added touch, I used a single hole punch and added a ribbon to the Tea Bag. I also used light colored cardstock as I just think it looks so much better.
Always save the file onto your desktop and then print from that file.
An Easter Basket and a writing activity insert with either Bunny Ears or Carrot Tops!
Yes, it stands up!
Basket designs to choose from:
1 - Bunny Face Basket with Ears Insert
2 - Basket (5 designs) with Carrot Top Insert

This is a wonderful Easter craft ... fun and interesting and something the students will keep for years to come!

Enjoy and Happy Easter.
This is a great Christmas bundle ... something for everyone!
Reindeer - 2 options to choose from. One blank template (you will need googly eyes and a pom pom nose) and one pre-decorated face.
Elf, Santa and Mrs. Santa Pyramidal shape - color, cut and glue. A pom pom for the hat is a great idea!
Trees (2 different designs), Santa Tree and a Regular Tree (with simple writing activity on the back and side of each tree)
Each craft is made from one piece of paper (8 1/2 x 11)
These items are a lot of fun to create! Students will love them.
I have included step-by-step directions and visuals to help you create these crafts.
All students require are scissors, coloring pencils and glue. Again, if you choose, pom poms and googly eyes would be fun. They can be purchased at any dollar store.
Have made sure that when I wrote on a craft it says either Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays. Just want to keep everyone happy.
You'll have so much fun with this craft! Yes .. that bear is 3D.
Lift up the heart to reveal a message to Mum, Mom, Grandma, Sister, Aunt, etc. underneath the heart! So cute.
Includes 2 components:
1 - Students begin with the Bear Template. There are 2 bear faces to choose from. Each bear is holding a heart. I have placed a picture and a simple message of each heart. There is room for the students to write a message to their loved one on that heart..
2 Students choose decorations for their Bear. They use these decorations to decorate their Bear and make it 3D. Younger students who have difficulty cutting can just use the template as the gift and don't need to make it 3D. There are 10 decorations to choose from including 2 blank decoration templates.
Requires: Paper, glue, coloring pencils and scissors.
Please look at the preview. I just used regular paper (beige in color), glue sticks are recommended.
This is a really fun craft to use with the Dr. Seuss book, What Pet Should I Get?
A dog of course!
A cat of course!

The card folds flat for students to easily transport home.
What Pet Should I Get? Mini Foldable Books
Books can be used with the new Dr. Seuss book.
Contains 24 Mini Foldable books!
- 3 different books for each of 8 pets
- pets are: dog, cat, fish, bird, hamster, rabbit, turtle and snake
- the 3 books for each pet are set up as follows: easy reading (emphasizing is, has and can), a rhyming book and a more challenging book with factual information about the pet
Each mini foldable book consists of just one sheet of paper. These books are easy for students to put together - just fold in half twice and trim the edges, if they desire! Each book has a title page, 2 reading pages and the last page is a spot for students to draw a picture. Use the books in literacy centres, read-alongs, or send them home for additional practice.

What Pet Should I Get? Cats and Dogs Craftivity
Should be something there for everyone!
