During this time of year kids love to craft, and who can blame them? There are so many wonderful projects they can create that are easy and quick to make. We recently discovered this quick and easy holiday project. Have your kids make these Mod Podge & Glitter Snowflake Ornaments. Meredith from Wait Til Your Father Gets Home, created these kid friendly ornaments with Mod Podge, dimensional magic, and more.

Create wonderful holiday crafts with Apple Barrel paints. Have your kids help create this Clay Angel Centerpiece. This is an easy and fun use of clay pots that makes a cute holiday centerpiece. For those of you who are teachers, this would serve as a great class project. Encourage kids that they don’t always have to buy a holiday gift, they can make one themselves instead.
