craft paper

Sturdy art paper

Craft paper is sturdy, coarse paper used for wrapping, packing, or art projects.

It typically comes in brown (kraft paper) or other solid colors and has a rough texture that takes glue and paint well.

The term often appears in contexts involving children's activities or DIY projects: We need craft paper for the kids' collages.
