Creative Crafty Clever Cups!

My love for paper cup crafts started a few years ago when we made our spotty halloween monsters, and since then we now do a paper cup craft a term. They are great because the toddlers loves to come out with something 3D they have made that they can play with. Parents love these simple creations because only a toddler could position the stickers with so much character. Most of the cup crafts use stickers and no glue, so it's relatively mess free too. Even my six and nine year old like making paper cup creations, to the extent that J said the other day having got a cup in a cafe "can I keep this to make something?"

They are fairly low cost too - a sheet of sticky backed foam or felt costs 80p at hobbycraft (although you can get it cheaper if you search), and you can buy 14 coloured cups for about £1.50 from Amazon. I keep a pack of plain cups in to experiment with new ideas.
