A Winter Craft Idea for Kids
Here's a winter craft idea that takes its cue from nature. While you're hiking through the woods with your children, be on the lookout for small pinecones. They serve as the base for this child holiday craft. Fashion pinecone people to use as tree decorations or holiday place cards at meal time. Our example comes straight from the ski slopes, but you can come up with ideas of your own.
As a matter of fact, why not send us your own craft idea? We'd love to hear from you! Just fill out the "Contact Us" form (will open in a new window) by clicking here.
We hope you enjoy this easy child craft and that you have a Happy Holiday Season!
Cheers!
