Chenille Stems

Can someone help me with craft ideas?

I have beads, chenille stems, pom poms, crafting sticks, and a lot of construction paper. I am trying to make crafts for kids in camp ages 7-14. I only have $75 to spend to buy anything extra that is needed for 40 kids. Help

-you can use your craft sticks for picture frames, here’s a link:

- You can use your pom poms to make animals like a chick, caterpillar, Bunnie, cat, and you can use chenille stems for ear, hands etc…

- You can make jewelry out of beads

- you can make ”tumble bugs” out of construction paper and marbles.Here’s a link on how to do it:

- You can make this easy camp craft out of craft stick and string, here’s a site:

- you can make t-shirts! You can buy fabric paint and markers, which are usually sold in an arts and craft store and have the kids decorate the t-shirts. There are many ways to decorate them, but since is for camp I recommend you using this idea:
