Paper Bag Craft Worksheet for Kids

How to use this worksheet

Read through the folding instructions together, guiding your child's hands as they make each fold to shape the paper bag. Once the bag is folded, dip an ear bud or cotton swab into the coloring material and show your child how to dab it onto the paper to create a dotted design. Let your child decorate the whole bag using this dabbing technique, encouraging them to create their own pattern or picture.
