It's snowing in Houston, y'all. Well, sort of. It's really just these teeny tiny ice pellets falling, but it was enough to shut down the city. I thought I'd share three snow day crafts with you. WINTER SKY CRAFT This is a good one for any age because it's simple enough for little ones, but is cool enough for older children. All you do is scribble with a blue marker on a white piece of construction paper. Then rub the paper with an ice cube. The result is above. This is pretty enough to be a stand-alone craft or could be fun as a background to draw on top of once it dries NEWSPAPER BIRCH TREES Adele and I did this one a couple of years ago on a day just like today. We cut a newspaper into strips and made trees out of them for the perfect winter scene. Then Adele just used white paint and a paintbrush for the snow. I added in the little cardinal after something I saw on Pinterest. HOT CHOCOLATE CUPS We did this one just this morning with the neighborhood kids! It's a fun one to pull out during cold days because it combines to thing I love: crafts and sugar, lol. I bought a pack of white disposal coffee cups with lids from Walmart. Here is a listing on Amazon, but if my memory serves me correctly, I got them cheaper at Walmart. All you do is grab some crayons and decorate your cup the way you want it. I recommend crayons because I think markers might leave a marks on your hands while drinking. Once you're done with your creation, pour some hot chocolate in and enjoy!
I hope you enjoyed these three simple craft ideas for a cold day stuck inside. Let me know if you try any or if you have any other ideas you'd like to share!
