Looking for a Craft Idea

18 years ago

I am hosting Christmas Day at my house for the first time. I am going to set up an area for the kids to make craft(s)after dinner to keep them occupied. I need a couple ideas of a craft or two I can have the kids make. Would prefer something not for Christmas but for winter as Christmas will be over. The kids ages range from 5 to 20.

How about buying some of the different trinket boxes unfinished in Michaels or Joanns. Then you need some paint, glue and lots of glitter. My girls enjoy doing them.

Inexpensive unfinished picture frames are also an idea and you can take a pic of them that day to put in their frame.

I think dd50's suggestion would be perfect for that age group. The older kids could help the younger ones and all of them would enjoy a framed picture of themself or a cute box to stash their treasures. Luvs
