Easy crafts you want? Well this doesn’t get too much easier.

If you are an instant coffee drinker than you may not have any of these coffee filters on hand but they are easily purchased.

This first activity to do with these large, soft filters works best with eye droppers.

If you don’t have any  old medications that come in bottles with droppers then I believe you may be able to purchase these from your local pharmacist

Prepare small bits of water with a different color food coloring in each bit of water.

You may want to use egg box cartons for the different colors. Lay the coffee filters out and using the eye droppers  have the children take different colors and drip them randomly onto the spread out filters.

This will create beautiful soft patterns of color on the filters. The nature of the coffee filters has the liquid spreading out and making different designs.

After they have created  as many colors as they like (or you give them)  the children can paste these filters onto a pieces of tag board. (after they dry)

They can even cut around the designs and use the cutouts to paste with.

The coffee filters can be used along with cupcake holders, pom poms,strips of paper, pieces of aluminum foil etc to create beautiful flower collages on a piece of tag board.

Another thing to do with coffee filters is to allow the children to cut them  up .

Why not just allow the children to snip around the edges of the coffee filters or let them cut them into pieces.

You can then  use washable markers that bleed and have them  color on the filters, then cut them and paste what they cut.

Simple and fun and gives credibility to your coffee habit. (if you have one)
