3-D Origami Finger Puppet
I just finished up a fun, quick craft tutorial on the HP wiki, the Bunny Hop 3-D origami finger puppet. Just download the pre-printed origami paper and fold away. You can also make a cute bear or puppy. It's the perfect project for kids to make too.
I'm also excited to announce that HP will be at the Maker Faire (May 3 - 4)! At the HP booth, you'll be able to get hands on and make some fun printable craft projects like the 3-D origami finger puppets, crafty cards, photo matchbooks, and more! Kids can also get a free photo taken with Po from the movie "Kung Fu Panda". Visit the HP booth when you are at the fair and get ready to get your craft on!

Print Your Own Temporary Tattoos
Collin @ MAKE writes:
Run-of-the-mill tattoo designs are easy to fake and therefore easy to doubt. But forging a believably atrocious design with some inkjet tattoo paper could definitely turn some heads.
I loved temporary tattoos as a kid, but I can't imagine how much more I would have loved them if I could design my own! Print your own temporary tattoos on this printer paper.

Reversible Superhero Capes
My mom made these reversible capes for her grandson (my nephew). The pictured one is Batman/Green Lantern, and the other is Superman/Spiderman. She's the first to admit that Spiderman doesn't wear a cape, but my 3 year-old nephew doesn't care! My dad designed the logo templates. See where I get it from? They're a crafty team, and they got the idea from our blog.

Custom Spice Labels by Kids
Megan at My Plum Pudding has a great idea for a craft project to do with your kids that could actually lead to them eating the healthy food they should: help them make custom labels for fun seasonings and extras for their food like wheat germ, sesame seeds, and other goodies that make vegetables and yogurt more fun. I like the "Shark Bites," although I would probably name mine something more along the lines of "Zombie extract."
