Community Helpers Crafts
Build people who help a community, then add useful pockets, boxes, props, and small play rooms. Every new sheet has a real making action—not just a craft label on a coloring page.
A separate new library
Choose how children want to build
These 16 new crafts do not overlap the existing Coloring or Cut & Paste tabs.
Characters, foldables, and mini rooms
Start with a helper puppet for younger makers; choose a foldable or stand-up room when children want a longer build.

Three build levels
Pick the right first project
Character builders use large pieces and simple layering. Foldables need careful creasing along dashed lines. Mini rooms work best on light cardstock; fold each standee base before play. Adults should help with small tabs and all cutting.
Before you print
Community helper craft questions
What can children build?
The new library includes eight helper characters, four foldable pockets or boxes, and four mini rooms or play scenes.
Are these older coloring pages?
No. All 16 sheets were made as cut, fold, glue, dress, or stand-up crafts and stay in their own new craft tab.
Which paper works best?
Regular printer paper is easiest for folding. Light cardstock is sturdier for paper puppets and stand-up scene pieces.
