There are numerous crafts that can be made using foam bowls.
The two I have listed here are especially for toddlers and preschoolers, making them great crafts for home, child care centers, and parties.
These two are fun for any time of the year.

Step 2 - Using ballpoint pen, have an adult make one hole in edge and a second hole in edge on opposite side.
Thread ribbon through 1 hole, tying it in a large knot to secure and thread the other end through the opposite hole, tying it in a large knot as well.
The side without the knots is now the top of drum.
Step 3 - Glue the 4 strips of construction paper in a crisscross pattern on top bowl.
Step 4 - Use the new, unsharpened pencils as drumsticks and have fun! You can create seasonal crafts with bowls, too!
