I love finding activities to do with kids that correspond to their favorite books. I also enjoy using recyclables to make crafts with kids.
The Mini Mad Things Instagram page sells inexpensive templates to trace onto cardboard to make crafts. I recommend using pastels and paint sticks for these cardboard projects.
I used the unicorn craft with a child that loves “The Unicorn Academy” book series by Julie Sykes. If you care for younger children I have listed some children’s books about unicorns for younger kids below as well.
