Ready to get creative? Paper is one of our favorite crafting materials, it is economical, easy to work with, and allows for endless possibilities. It is also a great material to use for classroom crafts because, again, it is extremely economical.

Most of our previous paper crafts were done with scissors but now we have “upgraded” our arsenal with a hole puncher and one thing is for sure – kids love punching paper. So if you are a teacher, you can let your kids punch holes.
