Looking for something quick to build? Can’t wait around or craft for too long? These craft ideas take little time and supplies! Get straight into building with these fun fast crafts for kids.

Robot Face

Robots are the future. Design your own robot in just a few minutes!

You will need:

  • Snack box
  • Crayons, colored pencils, markers

Instructions:

  1. Pull apart the box without tearing the cardboard.
  2. Lay down the cardboard flat with the blank side facing you.
  3. In the middle square, color in a face.
  4. In the other squares, color in the head, antennas, and shoulders.
  5. For extra effect, fold back the cardboard flaps. This will prop up the robot to give it a 3D effect!

Rainbow in a Pencil Holder

Need colorful inspiration while at your desk? Insert a rainbow inside your pencil cup!

You will need:

  • White paper
  • Yarn with rainbow colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet)
  • Drinking straw
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Glue or tape

Instructions:

  1. Draw a cloud on white paper. Cut it out.
  2. Trace the cloud’s shape on more white paper. Cut out this second cloud.
  3. Cut out each color’s yarn. Each should be 4 inches long.
