What is the best paper for crafts?

You’re going to want a sturdy paper when you’re crafting so that it holds the shape and can handle the weight of the glue, if you’re using any.

This is why a lot of people will use construction paper, or thicker printer paper, for all their crafting needs. Scrapbook paper is also another great paper to use for crafts and kids love it because it has fun designs and coloring to it as well. Kraft paper is also another option because it’s hard to tear, too.

How do you make fun crafts with paper?

The best part about paper crafts is that you can make art and craft time super fun. From using paper plates or tearing paper and creating a stained glass look, there are so many options for paper activities for kids.
