Pom Pom Painted Polka Dot Ugly Sweater

Pom Pom Painted Polka Dot Ugly Sweater - Kid Craft

Polka Dot Ugly Sweater – Pom Pom Painted Kid Craft

Friends! Can you believe Christmas is less than 30 days away now? Boy – did that creep up fast on us!

On that note, if you are looking to do a simple activity with your toddler to pass the time this holiday season, I have the perfect craft for you today! I call it “Pom Pom Painted Polka Dot Covered Ugly Sweater” and it’s simply allowing your child’s imagination to go wild & have them paint their paper sweater designs however they want! I’ve even included a PRINTABLE UGLY SWEATER TEMPLATE to get you started with ease today!

After you take advantage of grabbing our free file, you just need to make some “paint brushes” out of clothespins & craft pom poms, so you can make that “polka dot” effect with ease. Then afterwards, grab the glitter, glue and maybe some premade stickers & let kids decorate their sweater printout out however THEY like from there!

The fun part of this paper ugly sweater craft is that you don’t need any rules or expectations when it comes to recreate it. Just like the real deal that people typical create for holiday parties, the messy and more unique wins! Just let kids loss on the craft supplies and then admire their beautiful holiday creations afterwards! After all – that is the fun part of doing any type of craft with them!

Ok… enough chit chat from me. Find all the details and free printable below below! I just know you are going to love making it with your child this month {maybe even at your own ugly sweater holiday party – hint hint!

Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished polka dot ugly sweater creations on our Facebook page wall afterwards, so we can admire your hard work this season! I can’t wait to see what they choose to decorate their pom pom painted paper holiday sweater! #gluedtomycrafts
