We are in the 2nd week of our 3 week winter break. Fortunately I am at my mom with the youngest three, so there is an extra set of hands to help and also lots of space for them to run around.But they do get bored and we get tired of taking them out or finding things to entertain them. Kiara loves crafting and she is always making something which is really great because it keeps her busy!
I have put together 5 of our favourite crafts that are easy for everyone to make.
These are one of a few things you can do with egg cartons. This is a nice craft for little ones though. Let them lose with the paint or crayons to decorate the cartons for their flowers! It should keep them busy while you get a cup of coffee in.
I love this idea! The girls have white letters in their room, I may just add some colour and do something like this. It is pretty easy to do and you can do it for everyone in the family or make their entire name, not just the initials. You can also really go wild with the decorations and use pretty much anything.
This craft does require some skill, so better suited to slightly older kids but with some guidance it is really pretty simple to make and it is ideal for all those lone socks that always end up at the bottom of the washing basket.
All you need for these are a pile of toilet rolls, some paint and your imagination. You can make forest animals, farm animals or even sea animals. The little ones will love this craft.
And finally, a craft that uses all the odds and ends lying around the house. You can use any and all pieces of ribbon, buttons and hair bands. This is a pretty easy one as well. You may just need to help sew the ends for them.

You can find links to all of these crafts on our Pinterest Craft and DIY board.
Oooh I absolutely love those cute bookmarks!
I am definitely going to do the wool alphabet thing with my daughter. We did the eggshell flowers last year and we have done many toilet roll animals over the years… always a hit!
