This weekend we had a bit of a mad craft project overload making four new crafts, it’s been a while since we’ve done it so I really enjoyed it, well apart from the bit when my youngest got in a mood and decided to try and eat all the craft supplies but hey ho that’s parenting for you. My son did a lot of arctic animals crafts for kids at school last winter and we thought it would be good to try and create a few of our own, the first of which is this cute snowy owl craft for kids. I had an idea of how it should be but my kids unsurprisingly had their own ideas which I think probably worked even better!

Crafts for kids
Christmas Tree Bubble Wrap Christmas Craft
We’ve been trying out a few Christmas tree crafts this week and this bubble wrap Christmas craft was probably my daughters favourite! It’s possibly more process arts than strictly a craft as it’s all about the actual painting but it does look like a Christmas tree at the end still so I guess it’s a bit of a combination. Our idea was to decorate our trees with ‘Christmas lights’ or baubles which I think kind of worked? Either way it was good fun and was a great Christmas craft to do after preschool.

Paper Bag Turkey Craft for Kids
I love sharing paper bag crafts for kids as they’re so easy to make and they’re great fun for playing with too! With Thanksgiving round the corner today it’s the turn of this cute turkey craft for kids, a great way to practice scissor skills as well as having fun. Of course you could use this turkey craft as part of learning about farms too, why not make some more animal themed paper bag crafts so the kids can put on a show!

Paper Bag Princess Craft for Kids
We are big fans of paper bag crafts for kids here but I have to admit that this princess craft was my four year olds idea! We’d spent the morning making things (house like a bomb site as you can imagine) when she decided she wanted a princess craft of her own.
I think I’ll have to get her creations ideas written down more often as this princess is super sweet and great for practising scissor skills.
What’s more once they were dry they were excellent for playing with too – what’s not to love?!
