Practicing arts and crafts helps children stretch their creativity, improve their fine motor skills, and have fun. If you want to spend quality time with your little ones during the upcoming holiday season, consider implementing a few fun projects into your celebratory schedule. This guide will provide the inspiration you need.

3 Fun Arts & Crafts Holiday Ideas

1. Thanksgiving

Add a fun new spin on classic turkey decorations by folding a piece of construction paper accordion-style for the wings and cutting out the body. You can then write a name on each turkey as a place card for the special dinner. Another fun activity for kids involves making acorn people out of the golden nuts. Simply glue two acorns on top of each other for the head and body — with the acorn top serving as a cap. Don’t forget to draw on a fun face!

2. Christmas & Hanukkah

Help spread the joy of Christmas or Hanukkah by making adorable snowflake decorations out of white pipe cleaners. To use them as ornaments, simply add wire. You can also make Hanukkah stars out of the pipe cleaners, which are perfect for the dinner table and walls alike.
