 There
are so many wonderful possibilities out there for excellent winter
art projects and crafts. There are basic winter art projects and
crafts like cutting out snowflakes or drawing Santa Claus, but there
are also many other fun and interesting winter art projects and
crafts. You can use your own ingenuity to get yourself started.
You can even pose the idea of interesting winter art projects and
crafts to your students or children – you may be surprised
at what creative ideas a child can think of.
Here are some fun ideas for winter art projects and crafts, organized
by the supplies that you may want to use.
Cotton balls and gauze
Cotton is a very useful tool when it comes to winter art projects
and crafts. If cotton balls were just a bit colder, they would seem
exactly like mini snowballs. A child can draw a wonderful winter
scene and then take cotton balls and rip them and fluff them and
glue them down in places where snow should be. Or, maybe a child
may want to draw two people having a snowball fight – the
cotton balls are already in great snowball shapes as is.
Marshmallows
What is winter without marshmallows? Marshmallows are added treats
in hot chocolate, but they are also great to use for winter art
projects and crafts. A child can take three giant marshmallows and
stack them on top of each other to make a mini and tasty snowman.
Toothpicks can be used to hold the marshmallows together and also
as arms. Mini marshmallows can make fun snowballs when attached
to winter collages.
Plaster of Paris
Plaster of Paris can be used in so many fun ways, not just for
winter art projects and crafts. One way that plaster of Paris can
be used is to make “footprints in the snow.” You simply
need to fill a box lid or some negligible item with plaster of Paris.
Once it settles and dries a little bit, students can make all different
footprints in the “snow.” They can use the side of a
fist to make footprints that look like a baby’s footprints,
or they can draw in footprints of birds or other animals.
Pine Cones
Birds that stay in places all through the winter need food. One
winter craft that students can do is to make a pine cone bird feeder.
Students simply need to cover a pine cone in peanut butter and dip
it in bird seed. After tying a bit of string to one of these pine
cones, it can be hung up on a tree outside. These pine cone bird
feeders do not just feed the birds, they act as beautiful ornaments
for an outdoor tree.
Glitter
Glitter can be added to make any basic winter art project and craft
even more fancy and beautiful. For instance, a child can cut a snowflake
out of paper and then add silver glitter to make it even better.
