I don’t know about you, but both the craft supplies and creativity are starting to run low at our house. Luckily, my daughter hasn’t noticed, which is a great reminder that you can keep it simple with kids — and they will still have a tonne of fun.

TAKE-OUT SPIDERS

Did you know there are 40 species of spiders in Ontario? We saved the chopsticks and styrofoam containers from a recent sushi delivery to create these, the 41st species: Pipecleaner Foametarius

PAPER TOWEL-PILLAR

Caterpillars in Ontario can be smooth, bristly, hairy, bumpy, and made of cardboard! No toilet paper or paper towel roll gets put in the recycling anymore at our house — each can be used for crafty goodness!

MS. ORANGE

In a nod to  this classic Sesame Street scene and this even more retro Fred Astaire, meet Ms. Orange: the toilet-roll-turned-top hat wearing, chopstick-armed song and dance fruit.
