This is the weekend that all of the fun and festive holiday decorations get put away in the basement. Make that the week, because that is how long it’s going to take me. It is quite the undertaking, isn’t it?! But, wait…I’ve gone completely off track. Where was I? Oh…The house sure is going to look empty without all of the cheerful colors of the holidays. I was thinking right now would be a good time to brighten it up with winter crafts kids can make and fun food crafts to cozy up to. Today I’d like to share over 31 fun and easy ideas for brightening up the house, and the classroom during the winter months.
My kids range in ages. I have young ones and I can’t believe I’m saying this...a teenager! I tried to find crafts that would appeal to all ages. There are simple ones for the preschool crowd and some more complicated for the older kids. I hope you’ll find something that you can use this winter.
Here’s a look at some fun Winter Crafts Kids Can Make…
