Winter Arts and Crafts for Kids

I love fun kid craft ideas, especially when we’re stuck inside on a snowy day. However, I am not a fan of paint going everywhere. These kids’ art ideas are simple, fun and so easy to clean up afterwards. They’re a great way to spend time with your kids this holiday season.

Materials Needed

  3. Silver glitter glue (optional)
  4. Pencil or light colored pen

How to Make this Snowflake Art for Kids

1. Draw a snowflake design onto the A4 Paper.

If you are doing this winter art idea with a class, it’s most probably easier to print out your snowflakes instead. These free printable snowflake templates from Simple Mom Project are perfect for this, and many other snowflake art projects.

2. Place some paint and your silver glitter glue onto a plate or paint container.

Of course, you don’t have to use silver glitter glue. I just had some on hand and thought it would be nice to let the kids add a bit of sparkle to their snowflakes. 

There are so many fun ways to make snowflake crafts with just a bit of imagination. Use what you have on hand, such as:

  1. Paint
  2. Sequins
  3. Bits of colored paper.

3. Dip your finger into the paint and paint over the lines of the snowflake.

Although my kids did start by sticking to the lines I had drawn for them, it didn’t take long for them to just paint wherever they wanted and make their own masterpiece. Which was perfect, art is about the process of making, not the end result.

4. Let your picture dry.

Another idea to try is to flip your colors around. For example, use light blue paper and white paint instead. Your child’s fingerprint will then look like falling snow when their pictures are finished.
