Winter Themed Toddler Craft Collection:

Marble Art Christmas Tress - very similar to our Marble Art Spider Web tutorial.

2. Marble Art Christmas Tress – very similar to our Marble Art Spider Web tutorial.

Just grab an old shoebox, paint and marbles. Do some cutouts (whatever you desire but we had pre-cut Christmas trees) Use some tape to tape down your cutouts to the box. Once that is done, squirt some paint in the box and throw your marbles in. Hand over the box to your child and let them roll the marbles through the paint. The marbles will move the paint all over the cutouts, creating a design.

We also have our paper plate version of this particular craft as well!

Cotton Ball Santa - grab some cotton balls and glue them to a face cutout to make a Santa. Don’t forget to add cotton balls to his hat too.

You can also do this on cardstock that you frame or even a canvas.

Popsicle Stick Reindeer - Kid Craft

6. Popsicle Stick Reindeers – for this craft you need three popsicle sticks, a red pom-pom, brown cardstock and glue. First glue your popsicle sticks into a triangle. Then, using your new triangle, trace out another triangle to glue to the back. Add a red pom-pom, handprint cutouts as antlers and glue on some wiggle eyes.

Once they are done, add embellishments to create the look of a penguin.
