Hi, I'm Andreja from Easy Peasy and Fun — and I just wrote a book!
50 paper crafts your kids can actually do themselves
CRAFTS
I designed every project so kids can do it themselves — no fancy supplies, just paper, scissors, and a little imagination.
“If you need easy crafts to keep busy, Andreja delivers with this book!”
📚 As an indie author, your pre-order genuinely helps me — it counts toward first-week sales, which is how new books get noticed. Thank you!
This activity is especially helpful for teachers looking for a quick, low-prep literacy reward or for public libraries wanting a fun, inexpensive handout for young patrons during October.
Because these corner page-holders require minimal supplies, just paper, scissors, and crayons or markers, they fit easily into a busy classroom schedule or a library craft hour.
Librarians and educators can pre-print the templates and let kids assemble their own little monsters, giving them a practical keepsake they will actually use in their books all season long.
I recommend printing these on heavier paper or cardstock, although regular print paper will work too (it just won’t be as durable).
Kids will giggle every time they open their favorite story and see their handmade monster staring back at them.
This printable set includes 5 Halloween characters: a ghost, a vampire, a witch, a mummy, and a skeleton.
And you know what? They also come in ready-to-color outlines and pre-colored versions, which is a perfect time saver if you plan on handing out finished bookmarks to kids.
