At Kids Files, our crafts section is a space dedicated to hands-on creativity using simple and recycle materials, especially cardboard. These craft ideas are meant to inspire imagination, encourage problem-solving, and support learning through play in a relaxed and enjoyable way.
Crafting with cardboard is not only budget friendly, but it also helps children develop fine motor skills, creativity, and confidence. Using every materials teaches kids that learning and creativity don’t always require expensive supplies, sometimes a simple box can turn into something amazing.
