20+ Amazing Coffee Filter Crafts

Check out these Amazing Coffee Filter Crafts – we started with 20, but keep adding coffee filter art ideas that kids will love.

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!

And with so many coffee machines moving to pods, you may find an assortment of coffee filter sizes that you don’t have use for…until now…

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!
