Assorted Cardboard Shapes (16 Pack)

These Assorted Cardboard Shapes are a quick, open-ended craft that kids can make into whatever they want. With a fun mix of shapes and plenty of decorating space, this set is perfect for coloring, pattern-making, and creative add-ons that turn simple cardboard into mini masterpieces.

Color, Decorate, And Create With A Fun Mix Of Shapes

These assorted cardboard shapes are designed for easy craft sessions with plenty of creative freedom. Kids can color with bold markers, blend shades with colored pencils, and add crisp outlines or details with paint pens for a polished finish.

Because the shapes vary, it naturally keeps groups excited—everyone gets something different, and every project comes out unique. Run this as a quick station, a theme-day activity, or a calm, creative block where kids can decorate at their own pace.

Want to take it up a level? Add craft trim for texture and “wow,” turning each piece into a display-worthy decoration or take-home keepsake.
