Make and Decorate a Wallet.
A very easy to make craft uses:
•Construction paper
•Tape (masking or clear)
•scissors
•stickers
•crayons
•washable markers
Help children to fold a sheet of construction paper into thirds holding the paper horizontally.
Open the paper back up and turn vertically. Then, have the children fold the paper in half.
The result is a page of construction paper divided into six equal parts.
Use scissors to cut out one piece.
Fold the paper back up into thirds, tape open sides leaving only the top open. Fold it over in half. Fold over the flap.
Have children decorate the wallet. Add some play dollars and kid checks for kids to color and put into the wallet.
