6 Crafts To Make From Egg Cartons

We all have egg cartons in our homes on a fairly regular basis, and if you are like me, you are usually left wondering if there is some kind of craft you could make with them that wouldn’t look to “childish”.  I remember as a kid bringing home egg carton caterpillars from preschool and now my kids are making bugs with them in early grade school levels.  Here are some cute craft ideas that look a little more mature, but still very cute and easy.
