Winter days and evenings can feel long and dull, especially when bad weather keeps you and your family indoors. Crafts are a great way to pass the time, keeping the kids amused and entertaining you in the process. Here are some activities you may want to try.
Give knitting a go
Knitting is a great activity to do with kids and also on your own. You could grab a knitting kit from companies such as //www.woolcouturecompany.com/collections/knitting-kits
Or simply make simple scarves for the winter months. Knitting can offer creative fulfillment, along with many health benefits.
Make a suncatcher
Use black and coloured tissue paper to make a winter suncatcher that can be hung up to catch the light when it’s finished.
Make a snowman
Who doesn’t love making a snowman? Even if the weather doesn’t play ball, you can create a snowman in all sorts of ways, from using a knitting kit to create one or making white pom poms to enjoying some cutting and sticking fun.
Snow globe time
There’s something magical about a snow globe and they’re really not difficult to make. You can use accessible and cheap materials such as a plastic wallet, paper plates, and glitter to create a lovely winter scene.
Build a winter scene
Grab an old shoebox and set about creating a glorious winter scene. You can use it like a stage and allow the children to play with toys inside, or help them to craft people and objects to extend the fun.
