Coffee filter crafts are one of my favorite types of kids art. It’s so fun to see what you can create just by digging around your kitchen cabinets!

Let’s make coffee filter crafts!
Coffee filter crafts really encourage children to be kids, and use their imagination as they craft.
My kids have come up with some of the coolest coffee filter creations over the years. I love when they create things I never would have even thought to make.
One of our favorite things to do here at Kids Activities Blog is to open the kitchen junk drawer and create something from what we find. That is kinda like coffee filter art — use what you have at home already and save yourself a trip to the store!

The giant ones from the industrial sized coffee machines are really cool. I have the kids paint them different shades of orange, red and yellow for pumpkins. When they dry, they hold their shape and the kids glue some leaves on them. I also punch a hole in the top and we string green raffia through for a vine. They look amazing hanging from the ceiling.
What entertaining kids crafts ideas for any time!
What a great idea! Thanks.
