You never know what you're going to find in our basement. It's where all things are saved for future craft projects, whether Phil agrees with this storage practice or not ;) On a recent basement adventure, we found cork circles from a previous night sky creation. With slippers on our feet and hot drinks in our mugs, we decided a wintery art project was in order :) WHAT YOU NEED: cork circles white acrylic paint strips of felt, foam, ribbon, yarn (blue, silver & white) push pi

This project is one that gets me super pumped up! I've done this with kindergarteners all the way to highschoolers and the engagement remained peaked for all ages. These very special crafts (do you know how rare that is?!) must be savoured and shared ;) WHAT YOU NEED: styrofoam balls wire scissors hot glue in a blue and white palette: pipecleaners beads felt pieces cut up straws push pins HOW TO MAKE: Begin by covering your styrofoam ball with felt pieces, adhering them to th

I have an ongoing debate in my brain over whether I like cool colours or warm colours more. Whenever we do an art project with cool colours, I'm CONVINCED they are the winners. But, then I go and do a project with warm colours and I'm unsure once again. Regardless, this cool colour art project has us smiling ear to ear! The palette is eye candy and the process lends itself well to a haphazard approach. BONUS, BONUS! WHAT YOU NEED: white paper (we used size 11 by 17) sponges

This is one of those art projects that spans the ages! It doesn't matter if the artist is 2 or 42, it's going to turn out. And it's going to be EPIC! There's zero stress, zero rules, and zero snow to shovel afterwards ;) WHAT YOU NEED: cardboard pieces aluminum foil tape white and blue paint white glue silver, blue and white items (feathers, gems, felt, pom-poms, ribbon, paper, etc.) scissors HOW TO MAKE: Wrap squares or rectangles of cardboard using aluminum foil.

When the girls were younger, we lived in the Middle East where snow was an impossibility. The girls hoped for snow as we travelled to Budapest, Helsinki, Prague, and so on during winter holidays, but the sprinkling we experienced was never the same as the snow play Canada offered. And so, as we often do, we problem-solved with crafting and made a "winter wonderland" with friends in our desert courtyard. WHAT YOU NEED: popsicle sticks hot glue paint or crayons/markers white gl

Once Christmas is put away, I always feel like the house looks a little sad. So many colourful, sparkly and joyful things are tucked away and there's a sort of emptiness that lingers. The good news is we have the power to change the vibe and this art project will do just that! BRING ON THE RAINBOW SNOWFLAKES!!!!!! WHAT YOU NEED: watercolour paper pencil snowflake tracers (we used our Cricut to create ours!) Crayola washable markers water and paintbrush HOW TO MAKE: Trace sn

One of our favourite things to do in the winter is to make icy creations! Ice castles! Ice structures! Ice gems! And ice ornaments :) It brings some joy to the cold months and.....I AM SERIOUS ABOUT THIS NEXT PART......it actually helps us to look forward to extreme winter temperatures. Imagine that! These ice ornaments were inspired by a silicone mold sheet I found at Michaels for 80% off! I cannot pass up such a deal, especially during prime, ice-making season! WHAT YOU NEE
