Paper Mitten Craft Idea For Toddlers
BRRRR It’s cold outside! Seriously – it’s absolutely FREEZIN’ in Cheyenne, Wyoming right now.
How is the weather where you are?
Is it warm? Is the sun even shining? Because if it is – I’m totally jealous!
We’ve been pretty much stuck in the house for the past month because of the cold and snow. There are some days I feel like our home is an ice box and I’m bundled on the couch, not wanting to move. Although it’s been fun {we do a lot of games and crafts to stay busy} I’m sooo ready for summer to arrive here… I’m sure that will be awhile though! Welcome to Wyoming!!!
Since cold weather and staying indoors has been pretty much run our entire life the last month, it’s also what inspired the kid craft I’m sharing today with you all.
Although my toddler pretty much “refuses” to wear mittens when we go outside in the cold, he sure did love doing this Toddler Paper Mitten craft with me.
If you would like to recreate this idea with your aspiring little crafter, keep scrolling for the full how-to below!
THEN, when you are done crafting, come share pictures of your child’s finished paper winter gloves with us on our Facebook page. I can’t wait to see what embellishments you added to give it a creative spin!
