Funky Craft Series
I think it’s safe to say we can call our Funky Craft activities a series now! They are always a hit with our members and go straight to the Most Downloaded collection of resources. Most importantly, kids absolutely LOVE creating their funky creatures!
If you are not sure what I’m talking about, you may be familiar with our Funky Bunny craft that takes the nation, nay, the world by storm each and every Easter.

- requires little planning and preparation
- super fun (even addictive for teachers)
- the finished product is amazing
- kids learn about patterns and lines.
