Why It’s Great:
Easy for kids to do at their own pace. Encourages creativity and individuality—each jar will be unique. Doubles as a winter-themed decoration for their room or a family space. This craft is simple, mess-contained, and perfect for a winter afternoon indoors! Brrrrrrr! The weather here in Georgia is getting chilly, and starting homeschool after a long break can be difficult. Winter doesn’t stop us from diving into fun activities that are full of learning opportunities. Snow for us does not happen often, but we see our fair share of temperatures in the teens - yikes! What does continue every season is how much our trees change. My kids loved learning about the leaves changing colors and watching them fall to the ground this past autumn. Now they can continue studying the trees by creating winter tree art. The best part about this winter art activity is getting your kids outside to collect the materials! |
