These winter crafts for kids use materials that can be recycled and reused in the home, or items found in nature to create beautiful and fun crafts for kids.Winter is the perfect time to try some fun and new crafts for kids. Though it is recommended to get kids playing outside in any weather (yes, even the rain!), the winter often brings a lot of downtime inside as well. Crafting with kids is a great way to build fine motor skills and dexterity, boost self-esteem, and increase creativity. So, here are 20 fun and engaging winter crafts for kids to try out. Recycled Crafts: We love to use recycled materials such as paper plates, cups, and paper rolls for crafting inside in the winter.
- Make a paper roll snowman. Using paper rolls in crafting is a great way to discuss the importance of recycling with kids.
- Recycle a paper plate and turn it into a snowflake by weaving yarn through it!
- Have a spare, unmatched sock? Turn it into a snowman! Bonus, add some lavender and make it a calming tool.
- Save the cardboard egg cartons and cut them apart to paint, making a cute little family of penguins.
- Online holiday shopping often comes with bubble wrap. Before tossing it, use it to paint these awesome winter trees.
- Have leftover tissue paper from holiday presents? Make a tissue paper snowflake.
- Make a tree or a wreath from lonesome puzzles pieces.
- Cut newspaper into shapes to create arctic animals. Try a penguin, a polar bear, or a snow owl!
- Paint a snowman family using pom-poms and clothespins.
