Frugal Newspaper Art Idea for Kids


Here’s a fun frugal craft idea that will teach your kids about recycling and creating a beautiful piece of art featuring your child’s precious handprint at the same time!

                         Materials: Cereal Box, Newspaper, Mod Podge, Paint

Grab those leftover newspapers and allow your child to rip or cut it into pieces.

Cover the empty cereal box in Mod Podge.

Lay the pieces of torn newspaper to completely cover the Mod Podge. Allow to dry.

Paint your child’s hand with paint and have them put their handprints on the box to create tree top.

Paint a bottom to your tree and allow your child to fingerpaint leaves.
The cereal box acts as like a thick canvas print.
