A Mini Menagerie
Believe it or not, these fantastic animal heads are made from nothing more than cereal boxes, newspaper, flour paste, and paint—a simple project that Los Angeles art teacher Samara Caughey loves doing with her young students because it stretches their creative muscles. To make the creatures at home with your kids:

Start with a regular or mini cereal box. From the bottom, cut halfway up each corner seam with scissors.
To shape the animal’s face, cut a curve into the bottom half of the front and back panels. (Make it pointier for a fox, rounder for a dog or a bunny.) Use masking tape to attach the side flaps along each edge. Trim excess.
Cut out ears from a second cereal box and attach them to the animal head with masking tape. Use white glue to attach tightly crumpled balls of newspaper to the head for eyes and/or a nose.
Tear newspaper into strips and squares that are roughly 2 to 4 inches wide.
Make papier-mâché paste: Combine 11/2 cups water and 1 cup flour; stir vigorously. Add 1/3 cup white glue and mix well. (You'll need about 11/2 cups of paste per animal.)
Dip the paper into the paste, and smooth strips onto the animal head. Continue adding paper until all sections are covered with a few layers. Let it dry overnight.
Decorate head with tempera paint, adding paper whiskers and eyelashes with white glue. Use hot glue to attach an unfolded paper clip to the back for hanging.

Paper Mobile
Watch your child's artwork twist and twirl at even the slightest gusts when you hang paper clip art characters on this cute mobile.

Make It: Select royalty-free clip art to use for your mobile (we chose nature-theme images). You'll need two versions: the standard icon and the icon flipped to be the mirror image (most image-processing software will allow you to do this; if you can't, simply doodle on one side of the art before hanging it). Print the standard images. Turn the paper over in your printer and print the mirror image on the back. Have your child color both sides with markers or crayons. Cut out the images when he's done, punching a hole in the top of each.

Cover two dowels with patterned paper and tie them together with ribbon to form an X shape. Attach string to the images and hang them from the ends of the dowels. Add string at the top to hang the mobile.

Summer ABC Book
Capture your child's summer memories in this easy-to-make index-card book. Your child can choose people, places, and activities to add under each letter of the alphabet.

Make It: Help your child plan fun ideas for each letter; cut out corresponding pictures from magazines or take your own photos. Mat images with patterned paper and adhere to index cards.

To display a letter on each page, write the letter on a white circle and mat with patterned paper. Separate each page with plastic index-card dividers, and create a durable back cover by trimming the tab from an extra divider. Punch holes in the upper corners of the cards and dividers and insert a binder ring. Tie pretty ribbon on the ring. Decorate the cover with stickers to complete this unforgettable keepsake.

Pretty Paper Fans
Cooling down on a hot day has never been sweeter! Let your children choose paper to fit their personalities.

Make It: For each fan, trim a 12x12-inch piece of heavyweight cardstock to 8x12 inches. Use a decorative border punch along a long edge of the sheet. To simplify the folding process, score at every inch with a scoring blade. Fold accordion-style. Gather at the bottom edge, punch a hole through all folds, and tie a decorative ribbon to complete a lovely fair-weather fan.

Tube Town
Transform cardboard tubes into cute cottages in just a few simple steps.

Paint the tube and let it dry.
Make two angled cuts into one end of the tube to form a point. Fold a 3- by 3 1/2-inch piece of scrapbook paper in half, then set it on the pointed end as a roof. Use tacky glue to secure it.
Make two cuts to create a rectangular door, as shown. Glue on a bead for a doorknob.
Draw windows onto colored paper, cut them out, and attach them to the cottage using a glue stick.
For a chimney, fold a strip of paper into a four-sided, open-ended box, and glue it to the roof.

Paper Glass

Turn coffee filters into pretty paper glass with this crafty idea from a Nashville art teacher.

Rachel Motta is an art teacher with the Metropolitan Nashville Public School district in Tennessee. A firm believer in the idea that art is for everyone, she loves planning lessons with projects that students can interpret in their own way, with no wrong answers. Here, she shares an example that was a hit with her students.

A trio of exhibitions of Dale Chihuly's contemporary glass sculptures in Nashville inspired this project. Chihuly created a series of colorful, organic, bowl-shaped forms called Macchia (the word means spotted in Italian). For our student version, we used coffee filters. The translucency of the paper mimics the look of glass.

1. Use scissors to trim the edge of a coffee filter to create an uneven, organic shape.
2. Make lines, spots, and blobs on the coffee filter with non-permanent markers.
3. Drape the coffee filter over an upside-down plastic cup or yogurt container.
4. Apply spray starch to the filter until the marker colors bleed together and the coffee filter is completely wet.
5. Let the filter dry.
