Coffee Filter Crystal Ball Craft Idea For Kids Coffee Filter Crystal Ball Craft Idea For Kids

If you’re searching for a simple craft idea that your kids will love this Halloween season, look no further than the unique and fun coffee filter crystal ball suncatcher tutorial!

Craft Supplies:

  • White Coffee Filters
  • Stapler
  • Washable Markers
  • Spray Bottle w/tap water
  • Paper Plate or Paper Towels
  • Black Cardstock Paper
  • Scissors
  • Halloween Stickers

Directions:

  • First, grab TWO coffee filters per crystal ball craft you want to make today.
  • Stack them on top of each other and flatten them out with your hands.
  • Take your stapler and secure the coffee filters together so they don’t come apart. Two-three staplers along the edge should do.
  • Now decorate the coffee filter stack, however you want with the various markers. The more colors you add, the better!
  • Next grab the spray bottle with water and spray the coffee filters down, until the color starts to bleed throughout them.
  • When done with the water step, lay the wet coffee filters on a paper plate or paper towels to let them dry. It’s VERY important that they are completely dry before moving onto the final steps.
  • Once dry enough, it’s time to decorate! First cut out a large “trapezoid” from the black cardstock paper. This will become the “stand” for the crystal ball.
  • Go ahead and staple that to the bottom of the colored coffee filter piece.
  • Finally – add some Halloween stickers inside the design. Some googly eyes is a great addition as well!
  • And that’s it! Now display your coffee filter crystal ball creations proudly for all to see! BTW – these would look perfect on a window that gets LOTS of light throughout the day.

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
