Are you looking for frugal ways to help your kids enjoy screen-free activities? Maybe you'd like some simple crafts for summer or rainy day fun? Perhaps you want some cool craft ideas for kids to spark creativity?

Cupcake liners are actually affordable solutions for easy crafts with kids. I buy them in bulk and let my boys run wild with their imaginations. We've always had some cupcake liners as part of our frugal inventor's boxes. And as part of our homeschool craft supplies!

Of course, we like to use our cupcake liners for making muffins and cupcakes, too. Especially for celebrating Harry Potter's birthday (July 31)!

Oh, and these crafts are creative ways to celebrate Cupcake Day (December 15)!

As I prepare and plan for our summer homeschool fun, I'm collecting a variety of ideas and resources for easy and cheap activities. I've added cupcake liner crafts to our summer bucket list. And sharing with you what I've found with you!

I firmly believe that craft time with kids can be stress-free and fun. The key is to set clear expectations and rules. It also helps to have all of your materials ready. I put together this list so we can make the most of our creative time:

  • cupcake liners (paper and foil)
  • glue stick
  • craft glue
  • googly eyes
  • wood craft sticks
  • scissors
  • construction paper
  • paper straws
  • pipe cleaners
  • markers
