DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Paper Crafts Index

I'm not going to put age ratings with the individual crafts unless they are atypical.  Cut and paste paper crafts are usually the easiest on the site.  Unless otherwise indicated, they are suitable for Ages 2+.  It's easy to expand these crafts to target older children -- check out DLTK's "Grow With Me" Craft Concept

If you're new at crafting with young children (or are frustrated with the process), you might want to read the blurb I wrote as part of the frog craft.  It might give you some ideas on how to go about crafting with little ones!  You might also like to check out the Note on Crafting with Preschoolers

Idea from a viewer:  Before doing the project, I brush it with stamp glue.  Then the kids can lick and stick the paper craft together after they color and cut it out.  It's less messy (for car or airplane travel) and a nice change from regular gluing.
Ilona

Idea from a viewer:   My kids love the alphabuddies (one of the paper crafts) and I just wanted to share with you how we used them.  After cutting them out we glue them to junk mail envelopes that have been stuck together and the bottoms cut off to make alphabuddy puppets. Then the kids put on an alphabet play. I have also used them for individual students I tutor to make their own alphabuddies alphabet books. The kids love the crafts no matter how we make them. Keep up the great work! Cyndia
