It’s the perfect time of year to cozy up indoors. Light a fire, have a cup of hot chocolate and spend some time with the kids crafting.

We have just the craft to do with them this winter. No cold snow is needed to build this snowman. You’ll need a few basic craft supplies and a photo of your child’s face to make this adorable snowman photo craft!

It’s a fun and easy craft that will help kids hone their scissor skills, creativity, and their fine motor skills by putting the snowman together. Plus, they’ll love personalizing their snowman with their own face!

Winter Books For Kids

There are plenty of good reasons to curl up with a good book this winter.

Winter Crafts For Kids

We especially love crafting during the winter when the kids are cooped up indoors and need to keep their hands and minds active.

Crafting not only helps them stay busy and entertained, but will also hone skills such as critical thinking, fine motor skills, and creativity.

Kids also gain confidence, critical thinking skills, and patience when they complete a project. Add some crafts to your kiddo’s day for some fun this winter.

Snow Globe Frozen Craft – If you have kiddos that have watched Frozen on repeat, then we have the perfect craft for them to do! Queen Elsa and Princess Anna are featured in these super cute paper snow globes. Download the free template to make one or both sisters.

Penguin Headband Craft – Waddle on over to get a look at this super cute headband craft! Kids will make their own penguins to wear with either the black and white version to color in or the colored paper craft version. Soon kiddos will be waddling around pretending to be these cute birds.
