10 Winter Crafts & Activities for Kids

1. Snowman Potato Prints

This is a fun craft that allows you to use a potato as a paintbrush. Put some white paint on a paper plate. Cut a potato in half & dip into white paint. Make snowman on colored paper. Let dry. Decorate snowman.

2. Build A Colorful Snowman Craft

Supplies:

Colored Cardstock (we used shades of blue and purple)
White Cardstock for snowman’s body
Black paper for hat
Google eyes
Orange paper or foam sheet to cut out carrot noses
Colorful pom poms
Black pipe cleaners
Black marker to draw mouth
Colorful ric rac or ribbon for scarf
Craft glue

Directions: For the pre-K class, I cut out the 3 different size white “snow balls” and hats ahead of time. For older kids, you could have them trace and cut out all of the parts themselves. Hand out all of the supplies and glue to the children and let them use them to “build a snowman”.

10. Snow Dough

My boys loved this activity & kept them busy for many hours. I kept our snow dough in this Tupperware so it was easy to close and put up & kept it lasting for a few weeks. It’s super easy to make and my boys are already asking to make it again.

Ingredients:

1 cup of baking soda

1/2 cup cornstarch

1 tbsp. vegetable oil

1/2 cup & 1 tbsp of water

Directions:

Mix all ingredients in a saucepan. Place on medium heat and stir continuously for about five minutes (the mixture will thicken). Let cool before playing.
