These 15 winter crafts for kids are the perfect way to spend cold winter afternoons.

Winter crafts for kids

I know that winter doesn’t technically start for a couple weeks, but someone forgot to tell mother nature and we have already been visited by a pretty fierce snowstorm already. The snow hasn’t completely melted and we are already expecting to get slammed with another snow storm tonight.

I actually love snow. We go snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, but there is only so much time you can spend outside before you have to come in to thaw out.

Most of us are content to curl up with a book and a cup of hot cocoa, but my youngest son is extremely active. If I don’t find things to keep him busy, he will find ways to occupy himself, which sounds like a good thing, but it isn’t. At all! He kind of has a thing for markers and labeling things. People say it is a stage and he will outgrow it, but after 4 years I have my doubts. The one way I can ensure he will be well behaved is to plan crafts and activities to keep him busy. Below are 15 Winter Crafts for Kids that I have pulled together to help me keep my son busy when he is stuck inside this weekend.

    We have had a ridiculous amount of snow days here this year and my kids have been going crazy. We’ve made more crafts than I can count, but a few of these will definitely be on my agenda for our next snowday!

    Thanks!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
