Tissue Paper Campfire – Kid Craft Idea w/Free Printable
Although I’m not much of an outdoor gal or “camper” myself {my husband proudly fills that role in our family} I did do this fun “indoor” craft with my son recently.
It first started with inspiration from the Christmas song “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire” and it evolved to this Tissue Paper Campfire Kid Craft. Eventually the craft evolved even more and I was able to offer you all the FREE printable template, so you could do it at home too!
Using the vibrant colors of orange & yellow tissue paper – I was able to pull together a simple afternoon camping craft, that my son absolutely loved helping me with.
If you want to do the same with your aspiring little artist {whether for winter or summer!} all you need to do is download the file that you will find below, print it out and follow our step-by-step tutorial to complete it. It may be “hot” but it’s super easy!
Find all the info on how to recreate it below! Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to snap a few pictures when you are done crafting and share them with us on our Facebook page to admire from afar! I can’t wait to see how awesome those paper campfires turn out! #gluedtomycrafts
