Well its cheap and easy. Kids can use old magazines or newspaper , they would have to blow up balloons and use glue ( like Elmer’s ) and stick a couple of layers all around the balloon. Leave it to dry over night , then pop the balloon ( make sure its dry ) . You would end up with an egg shaped cocoon that they can paint then stuff.It’s messy but fun .;)

Milk carton basket-Take an empty half gallon milk or juice carton and remove the panel that is beside the open spout. Cover the sides in construction paper, cotton balls, etc. Then add google eyes, pipe cleaner whiskers, paper cut out in the shape of ears, and the handle made from the panel you cut off.
Soda Bottle basket-Cut the bottom off of any size soda bottle. Cover the top with ribbon and decorate. Then attach a pipe cleaner handle and fill.
