Trying to find fun things to do with kids? Here’s a fact: crafts can make every holiday special. Our blog will show you easy, festive projects for every season. Let’s get crafty!
Fun Winter Crafts
Making candy filled ornaments is a sweet idea. You need a plastic ornament, some M&Ms or Skittles, two pieces of ribbon, and a paint pen. Fill the ornament with candies, then decorate it with names or designs using the paint pen.
Cinnamon dough ornaments smell amazing and are easy to make. Mix applesauce, ground cinnamon, and craft glue to form the dough. Use cookie cutters to shape them. After they dry, you can add glitter, puffy paints, and rhinestones for sparkle.
Another cool project is melted mint ornaments. Place peppermint candies in metal cookie cutters on parchment paper. Bake until they melt into shape, then poke a hole with a toothpick and tie a ribbon through it for hanging.
Tealight snowmen bring light and fun together. Take battery-operated tea lights and draw faces on them with sharpies. Glue red ribbons around for scarves and make hats from red pipe cleaners and pom-poms.
They’re cute decorations that glow.
Creative Spring Crafts
Spring is a time for renewals and novel handiworks. Let’s create clothespin snowflake decorations. You’ll require large and medium-sized clothespins, white paint, blue sparkle paint, and snowflake confetti.
Small white pom-poms and rhinestones should also be on your list. Adhere them all with either tacky adhesive or hot adhesive. Suspend them with twine.
Venture into making beaded snowflakes next. Acquire some silver pipe cleaners and pony beads. Morph the pipe cleaners into the shape of a snowflake. Then integrate the beads for an extra twinkle.
It’s uncomplicated and entertaining! Also, you can construct paper tube roll snowflakes using toilet paper tubes, adhesive, and sparkle. Lastly, why not craft a sock Olaf snowman? Utilize a white sock filled with rice for the construct.
For his facial features, employ pom-poms, felt, googly eyes, and black felt stickers. Construct three sections of his body using hair elastics to maintain everything before applying his characteristics.
Colorful Summer Crafts
Summer brings lots of fun! Kids can enjoy colorful summer crafts. One great craft is the “Popsicle Stick Sled.” You can use regular and small popsicle sticks. Just add wood glue and some paint.
Finish it with jingle bells and faux greenery for a festive look.
Another fun project is the “Popsicle Stick Christmas Tree.” This craft needs colored popsicle sticks and foam sticker stars. Add some twine and glue for a sturdy tree. Kids can decorate it with rhinestones, too! These colorful summer crafts will keep everyone busy and happy.
Happy crafting!
Festive Fall Crafts
Festive Fall Crafts are a fun way to enjoy the season. Kids can make a Cinnamon Stick Christmas Tree Ornament. This takes cinnamon sticks, twine, ribbon, and a glue gun. Just cut the sticks to size and glue them together.
Add some twine for hanging, and voilà—an easy decoration!
Another craft to try is the Candy Cane Sled. You can use 10 miniature candy bars, 2 candy canes, and a full-size Kit Kat. Just glue or tape them together, and tie a ribbon for flair.

Christmas and Hanukkah Crafts
Christmas and Hanukkah bring joy and creativity. Kids can make a felt menorah toy to learn about Hanukkah traditions. It’s a fun way to understand the holiday’s meaning. They can also create a colorful dreidel banner using Oly-Fun fabric.
