Create Fun Crafts With the Kids
Crafts! Crafts! Crafts! It’s (almost) the best way to spend cold-as-ice afternoons. Cut mittens out of doilies and string them up with yarn; grab glitter and printer paper for homemade snow flakes; slide photos or drawings inside empty snow globes; fill old tights with cotton, grab googly eyes and felt and you’ve got a silly door sweep. That, or go to crafty sites like orientaltrading.com (split a few orders with friends) and order all the glue stick-worthy goodness you could possibly need and create away.
