The Solstice is upon us, the shortest day of the year in the Northern hemisphere and the first day of Winter.  If you are looking for a craft to enjoy with your kids to welcome “Old Man Winter,” Oriental Trading has some great ideas, in many different price points.

      

For no-stress DIYers, here are two more craft ideas to kick off the season:

Make Shaving Cream Snowmen (& Be Prepared for a MESS!)

Cover an entire table with shaving cream.  Have the kids make snowmen!  Very messy, but will smell good!  However, it is really easy to clean up as it washes off easily.

Make a Peanuts Snowman

Take a plastic baggie, and fill it with foam peanuts.  Staple the bag shut.  Cut out shapes from construction paper to make the snowman’s head, feet, cap, and arms. Have the kids decorate each of the cutouts.  Assemble the pieces onto the plastic baggie filled with peanuts with tape.  A Jolly Snowman indeed!

Happy Solstice!
