Project 4: Paper bags.

This project is great to use for decorating, sorting, and organizing. You might want to assemble the bag if your child is younger then 7. I'm also including a downloadable template.

Cost: Free
Prep time: 5-10 minutes
Play time: 20-40 minutes.

Materials:
piece of paper
Scissors
White school glue

Click on this photo. When it comes up, right click to save it. This is made to fit a regular piece of paper.

Cut along the dotted lines. There is an outline around the entire image, plus two small lines on either side.

Then fold along all the solid line. This should be 4 folds total.
Apply glue where the blue circles are.

Then you need to fold everything back together. Make sure the glue adheres to the other pieces of paper. Your final image should look like the one below.
Then let your child fill them, decorate them, or let them sort. I made a few of different sizes and patterns.
