The following is a guest post from our friends over at AllFreeKidsCrafts. Don't break the bank on pricey toys and sports gear for your kids. They really don't need expensive toys to have fun. Sometimes a cardboard box is all you need to make a magical castle or spaceship! Instead of buying expensive items for them, go ahead and engage your kids in some educational activities and other fun craft projects that you will both enjoy! Homemade toys will always be treasured by your little ones. Teach your kids how to sew and how to make kids' crafts using recycled materials. Not only will they have fun but they will learn valuable life lessons about sustainability. It's so easy and super convenient to make fun toys and other easy kids' crafts from toilet paper rolls, cardboard and paper.  Help your little ones create these gorgeous simple kids' crafts. These Glittering Rolled Paper Beads and the Beautiful Bow Bracelet are adorable homemade gifts kids can make. Make multiple bracelets with your little girls for a birthday party. Friendship, much like these fun recycled crafts for kids, is truly priceless. These projects are more geared toward little girls, but boys can also join in the fun and make these jewelry crafts and give them as a cute gift to grandma.  If you're looking for crafts that are great for play time these are creative and fun. Use toilet paper rolls to create a Batman and Robin Toy Set. Simply take sharpie and other markers, and your boys will have a blast with these easy homemade toys. If they are more interested in science crafts for kids, they can try creating this awesome Rocket Blaster Jet Pack. Morph into a true astronomer by using water bottles, tissue paper and more simple crafting tools. This craft also makes for a really fun costume add-on. You can also get the kids involved in their own "science experiment" by making robot crafts by using tin cans. It's easy to make and the kids will love playing with these Recycled Tin Can Robots.  Give your kids a history lesson by creating these awesome Mesozoic Dinosaur Sculptures. Recycle all that extra cardboard laying around the house and turn them into educational activities for kids. Girls and boys alike will have a blast by pretending they are firefighters. They can use their imagination when painting these Boxy Cardboard Firetrucks.  If your kids want to create even more recycled arts and crafts, recyclable bottles make fun decorative crafts and toys. Create this brightly colored Bottle Cap Mosaic out of upcycled bottle caps. Display these gorgeous kids' decorative crafts all around your home. You can also turn recycled crafts for kids into fun educational opportunities.
