Last Minute Winter Crafts

I don’t know if it still feels like Winter in your area, but here in Kentucky, there’s still time for some Winter activities.  That’s why I thought I’d post some of my favorite Winter crafts.

Toilet Paper Tube Penguin - This is a cute little penguin that will come in handy if you’re working on a Winter theme, Winter animal theme, or Penguins themselves. I’ve also shown some options for creating a couple of different kinds of penguins like Emperor Penguins and Macaroni Penguins.

Snow Stars - With paper folded the right way and a little ‘cutting edge’ imagination, you can create something better than your typical paper snowflake — you can make Snow Stars!

Hanging Mittens - These little mittens are a lot of fun to make and very adaptable for children of all ages. You can make them look as elaborate or as simple as you like, and they also serve as a nice little winter keepsake craft. Best of all, you probably already have all the materials available!

Snow Tracks - Paint a child’s palm only with brown or black paint and stamp it several times onto a sheet of white paper. Guide them to stamp their palm in a straight line across the paper. Dip their index finger into paint and stamp the “toes” around the top of the palm print 3 or 4 times for each palm stamp. When done, it should look like animal paw prints in the snow.
