Holiday Crafts for Kids (and Adults!)

Tis the season for everyone to pack up and make the trip to Grandma’s, Mom & Dad’s, or YOUR house for the holidays! Keep everyone’s spirits bright during the wait for dinner with these fun (and sugar-free!!) crafts and activities that will be loved by the kids and the adults alike.

1. The Classic Popsicle Stick

Every generation at the holiday table has surely crafted a popsicle stick masterpiece or two in their lifetime. Just because it’s an oldies hit in the craft world doesn’t mean this year’s popsicle stick ornaments can’t have a modern flair! Think outside the box and use asymmetry, glitter, and buttons & baubles to flair up your stick creations.

2. Hands-on Fun

Keep small and big hands alike busy with handprint and fingerprint based projects! A simple press of painted hand to paper (or card, or ornament!) can create the foundation for snowpeople families, holiday lights, reindeer, candy canes, trees, menorahs, and more.

3. Forget the Joe, Make it Snow

All it takes is a pair of scissors to transform plain, plentiful coffee filters into a beautiful one-of-a-kind snowflake decorations. Let it snow!!

4. Cookies for Critters

Save the sugar and make fun treats for your feathered or furry friends! Holiday cookie cutters can be used to make festive home-made dog biscuits or even super cute no-bake bird seed treats so everyone can be included in the holiday festivities.

5. The Humble Noodle

What is a crafting day without a noodle or two? Level up your noodle masterpieces by experimenting with different paint colors, finishes, and textures, and of course by adding some glitter!
