I love when you can turn an object as simple as a paper cup into something you never thought of. In this collection of cup crafts for kids, you’re sure to find all kinds of cup projects you will want to make. This roundup includes lots of animals like a penguin, jellyfish, crab, clown fish and also fun ideas like a kaleidoscope or piñata! (Although some of these crafts do use foam or plastic cups, you can substitute paper cups for most of the crafts if you are trying to do more eco-friendly projects.)
