10 Fun and Easy Winter Crafts and 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

3.  Snowman In A Bag Craft for Kids

Supplies Needed:

  • Quart Size Ziploc Bag
  • Shaving Cream
  • Scissors
  • Black and Orange Construction Paper
  • Glue

Directions:

Fill a quart size Ziploc bag with shaving cream and seal.  Cut out a snowman’s nose using orange construction paper.  Using black construction paper, cut out eyes & a button mouth.  Glue the nose, eyes, & mouth onto the bag.

 

 4.  Mitten Handprints

Cut a mitten shape out of red or green construction paper.  Do a white paint handprint & let dry.  Add pom poms.

5.  Snowman Puppets

Use cotton balls or white pom poms on a popsicle stick. Glue on eyes & pipe cleaner arms. The scarf is a small piece of ribbon.

6.  Fingerprint Snowman

Supplies Needed: mini square canvas, paint, brown & black markers, ribbon, mini orange pom pom, blue & white paint & glue

Directions: Paint the canvas blue. Once dry, have the child make a snow man using their fingerprints in white paint. Once dry, draw on arms & eyes with marker. Last, glue on pom pom nose & ribbon to hang. 

 7.  Wine Cork Snowflake Craft

8.  Shaving Cream Snow Play

9.  Snowman Milk Snack (Serve with Cookies!)

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.

We hope you enjoy these fun winter activities and crafts for kids!
