Blank Paper Shields 72 Pack for Kids Crafts - Large 13 x 17 in Shields

In this review the ReliThick set of 72 blank paper shields is judged mainly as a budget-friendly art resource for classrooms, parties, and group craft activities. The biggest reason to buy is the bulk quantity: seventy-two sizable 13 x 17 in cutouts provide repeated opportunities for design and role play without constant restocking. For group settings or parents who want a repeatable craft prop, these shields act as a large, sturdy canvas that encourages imaginative decoration and collaborative projects.

Key Features

• Bulk Quantity: Receiving 72 shield cutouts means plenty of pieces for classrooms, birthday parties, or multi-session crafts so supplies do not run out.
• Large Size: The 13 x 17 in dimensions give each shield a prominent surface that is easy for children to decorate and for finished projects to look impressive in photos or displays.
• Handle Design: Each shield includes a rectangular paper handle that can be attached with tape or glue, making the piece wearable once assembled.
• Thicker Cardboard: Made from 250 gram cardboard, the shields hold up to markers, paint, and stickers better than very thin paper while remaining easy to cut or trim.
• Multipurpose Use: These shields work as crafting canvases, photo props, party activities, or parts of a dramatic play castle, offering flexible creative uses.

Who It's For

This product is best for teachers, activity coordinators, and parents planning group crafts where a large number of identical bases are needed, such as school art projects, camp crafts, and party stations. The size and quantity suit mixed-age groups where children can each personalize a shield and then use it for imaginative play.

Those who need a finished, ready-to-use prop with glued handles or waterproof sealing should look elsewhere, since adhesive and attachment are not included and heavy wet media will require extra protection. If you need a single premium display piece rather than bulk craft supplies, a thicker pre-finished material may be a better fit.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Large 13 x 17 in surface encourages detailed decoration and makes a visible final prop.
• Good value for groups because 72 pieces cover many children or repeated projects.
• 250 gram cardboard provides sturdier support for markers and stickers than thin craft paper.

Cons

• Handles require tape or glue to attach and those adhesives are not included, adding a small extra step and cost.
• The card stock quality received mixed feedback, so very heavy paint or repeated rough play may show wear over time.

Our Verdict
