Because of that, I decided to break out my sewing machine instead of using glue. In my scouring of Pinterest for ideas, I found some cool building backdrops that inspired me to make the buildings out of boxes and wrapping paper. I had a hard time finding black wrapping paper so I ended up ordering bulletin board paper to use.

To keep our kitchen trash can clean, we use either a heavy paper bag or a small plastic bag. We reuse both kinds of items for replacement parts, crafts and etc. If you want to get fancy, draw, paint or sew buttons on it for eyes. If you have more time, you can put some wrapping paper around it. Empty vegetable cans.

If musical talent isn’t anywhere to be found, make musical instruments out of paper plates, paper towel tubes, bells, whistles, or whatever makes a fun sound. Another option is to have the children at the party make their own puppets using brown paper bags and craft materials. Puppet Playhouse Fun.
