Making a Branch Spiderweb Weaving

Tiny Origami Baskets? Yep.

These are shown for Easter but could just as easily be designed for anything - fairy garden, little legos, trinket holder, tiny stone collection... 
They are also shown as being created from an existing beautiful piece of paper, but I would encourage students to make a plain paper beautiful first - sponge paint, paint splatter, etc, and then fold when it's dry.

Making a Fairy Door (from popsicle sticks)

Kimmy Cantrell inspired masks?! It's exactly what 2nd grade was doing before we left for "Homeschool" :)

"Got cardboard? Here's a fun project to utilize any scrap Amazon or pizza boxes. Parents can help younger children cut out the base or face shape of these masks. Since these are abstract, get creative with your shape. Have your children divide their face into sections with a permanent marker and paint with different colors. Facial features can be cut with scissors using thin cardboard using leftover cereal, soda or cracker boxes. Encourage them to be creative with their shapes for eyes, nose, mouth and ears. These can be colored with markers, oil pastels or paint."
