14 Cartoon Crafts You’ll Love
Cartoon crafts are not only fun to make, but they’re also so much fun to play with afterward. You can tell the stories that you’ve seen over and over again from these cartoon characters or make up your own stories. Create several of them and let them interact…like a tv crossover event all your own.
Prepare Your Craft Supplies
As with all of the crafts that we make here (and in our shop), the cartoon crafts on this list use supplies that are from our master list. It’s a list of 27 basic items that fit into one bag. It’s like a capsule wardrobe, but for kids’ crafts instead of outfits.
Once you fill your bag, you can mix and match the items for hundreds and hundreds and fun and simple crafts. We give you all of the inspiration that you could want here, but feel free to let your imagination run wild and make your own creations from the items in your bag too. You will never regret the time you spend making things with your kids…trust me.
