This easy colour mixing activity for St Patrick’s Day has lots going for it – it’s easy to set up, you can use it as sensory play for younger kids or as a way to teach colours to preschoolers and toddlers or you can look at mark making or letter formation with older kids. Plus it’s mess free – that’s got to be a good thing too!

I’m a huge fan of simple crafts for kids so for me this New Years Eve paper plate craft ticks all sorts of boxes – it’s made from a paper plate, which this time of year is the kind of thing I often have knocking around anyway, it’s got a slight educational slant promoting scissor skills and fine motor skills and most importantly it’s sparkly and looks pretty – surely a must for New Years Eve! These would make great decorations for an event too or spinning and playing with them should keep the kids busy for a bit.

I think this movable penguin paper plate craft might one of my most favourite things I’ve ever shared on here? It’s super cute and it makes a lovely winter craft for kids too. I’ve shared some penguin crafts for kids before – I still kinda love this upcycled penguin lantern, but this craft is great for using as a puppet too – meaning that you get to play with it once the making fun is over.

We love winter crafts but paper snowflakes can be a bit tricky with younger kids. We are huge fans of paper plate crafts so I figured paper plate snowflakes would be the perfect way to get a pretty round snowflake craft that would also be durable enough for the kids to decorate, making them brilliant crafts for toddlers too.
This easy craft for kids is simple to adapt for different ages and I rather enjoyed helping out with it too!

We love rock painting ideas for kids and originally used these to make story stones which are a great way to encourage a bit of creative storytelling too so I’ll be telling you about both ways the rocks can be used with children and also sharing some more rock painting ideas (including some festive ones) that I think you’ll love!
