Snow days and rainy day schedules don’t end when the holidays are over. If you and the kids are stuck at home because of a snowstorm, don’t turn on Netflix. Instead, look through your recyclables and pull out the craft supplies, it’s time to get creative!
We have searched some of our favorite blogs for winter arts and crafts projects the whole family can get in on. What good is a snow day if you don’t have a little fun? I remember (some 25-30 years ago) sitting down with Ben and CREATING.
We’ve chosen some of our favorites here along with the materials needed. Take a peek and see if you have them hanging around the house and then head over to each blog for full directions.
