Gather Your Gelt In Felt

Gather your gelt in style with this low-sew felt star tote. Perfect for a slightly older child learning to hand sew or easy to glue together for a younger one.

Oh What Fun

Let the kids pick out their favorite winter song lyrics and turn them into an easy DIY banner using craft store letters. Just add pompoms and polka dots.

DIY Snowman Diorama

The possibilities of a diorama are endless: snowmen, snowflakes and dreidels are just the tip of the crafty iceberg on what you can glue inside a jar.

Fun Ways With Clay

Air-dry clay is always a fun medium for kids of all ages. Roll out the clay and cut with ornament-shaped cookie cutters. Allow to dry up to 24 hours then embellish and display.

Straw Stars

Paper drinking straws are perfect for crafting. They are cheap, easily accessible and can be made into almost anything including a star of David or snowflakes.

Melted Crayon Lantern

While the adults are lighting candles each night, let the kids make their own lanterns. Crayon shavings are melted with a low-heat iron between two sheets of wax paper and then framed with popsicle sticks. Then add an LED candle.

Snow Topped Magazine Tree

Recycled magazine trees are a classic children’s craft. Fold pages, paint a wintery blue and add a touch of glitter to the top for snow.
