Summer Staycation – “Kids Kuffs”
These colorful “Kids Kuffs” are both “green” and fun! Start by saving your paper cores. (the ones in the middle of TP are the best)
Putting them together is really easy.
Cut the paper core into 2″ widths and cut to make an opening.
Adhere paper and embellishments to cover the paper tube. (note: if you are using brads, be sure to adhere them to the decorative paper BEFORE adhering to the tube. That way, the brad back will be sandwiched between the paper and the tube.)
My girls like to have little parties inviting all their friends. I just set out all the supplies in the middle of the table, and let them go at it!
This project was even published in Paper Crafts for Kids. An idea book chock full of ideas to keep the little ones busy!

The summertime projects that I do always include one of my favorite things to do for the kids in our neighborhood. I set up a crafting station in my living room and do a free Father’s Day class for the kids that have no father around but would like to present someone with a gift. They can make the project for whomever they would like. This year the kids made them for their Mom (thanking them for being both Mom and Dad), to their Stepdad, their Mom’s boyfriend, their uncle, a teacher and a friend’s Dad.
This year we took 3 coasters and tied them together. On one side was the word “DAD’. Each coaster had one letter. On the other side they added pictures, quotes, stickers and everything else that I picked up for them to do this project.
The children always love doing this free class I do each year. And I always enjoy how heartwarming it actually is for the kids giving the circumstances they are in.
What a cute project for the kids! Thanks for sharing.
What a great idea! I am always looking for ways to amuse the kids on rainy days. I also liked the idea of holding a Father’s Day craft day for kids. I volunteered to assist a kindergarten class make Mother’s Day cards and didn’t even think about the poor Dad’s! LOL!
My kids do more cooking/baking for the summer. We get out kid cookbooks from the library for ideas.
Wow, the girls at school will love this one!
Great Ideas.
