Crafting with your kids can be one of the most valued memories of the holiday season! You don’t have to be super craft-oriented to enjoy this pastime together. Keep things simple for littles ones or crafty-challenged parents! I’ve included a super easy DIY snowflake craft to do with big kids and young ones alike! This craft includes a large and small snowflake template and easy step-by-step instructions. ENJOY!!
Crafting During the Holidays
Making crafts is one of our favorite things to do around the holidays! It keeps Crankles busy, but also we use some of the things we make as holiday decorations! Our kids’ tree in the dining room is filled with ornaments Crankles made this year with various activities we have done.
Saying this as having a child almost grown, it is fun to look back on those little crafts with your kids years later and remember when they were little. These kinds of things really do make some of the best memories! Sometimes you need those reminders too when your kids are older and don’t think doing activities with their parents is very fun anymore! Enough about that though! Let’s make a craft! Also, be sure to follow me on Pinterest for more craft ideas!
