Pinterest Picks: 5 Snow Day Crafts Using Common Household Items
The kids' noses are pink and every pair of mittens in the house is soaking wet: It's time for a snow break! If you need a few indoor activities to keep the kids occupied (while you warm your frozen toes and make a new pot of coffee!), here are five snow day crafts using common household items. You should have most of what you need to make these simple crafts. And if you don't have all of the art supplies on the list, let your kids improvise and come up with their own version of these super-cute crafts. Happy snow day!
1. Marshmallow Shooters from Coffee Cups and Crayons: Balloons, a cylindrical tube (toilet paper rolls would probably work, too!) and mini marshmallows are all you need to create a TON of fun. Just remember to save some marshmallows for your hot cocoa!
2. Penguin Goldfish Cracker Counting Activity & Craft For Kids from Crafty Morning: If you've got Goldfish crackers and construction paper, you can engage your preschoolers in this adorable craft and counting activity.
3. Egg Carton Pirate Ship from Mom Junction: Egg cartons are always a versatile crafting material, and we love this clever pirate ship that kids can easily make and decorate with markers and stickers.
4. Clothespin Caterpillar Craft from We-Made-That.com: A few pom-pom balls and clothespins create a cutesy clip. Add a magnet on the back and you can use the caterpillar pins to hang artwork on the fridge!
