10. Maracas
A fun little playtime activity for your kiddos would be to make some music with these paper bag maracas. I know as a kid I really loved playing with the musical instruments they had at school. You can make a few of these, then have a dance party with your little ones!

11. Owl Piñata
I’ve always wanted to have a piñata at one my parties, but have never bought one because I didn’t want to spend the money on it. Well, now I won’t have to spend as much money on it if I make this adorable owl version.
