Cotton balls are one of my favorite supplies to use for winter crafts for kids, they just love playing with them and decorating things with warm fuzzy edges for the snow!

4. Popsicle Stick Hot Chocolate Mug

5. Sparkly Icicle Craft
This sparkly icicle craft makes great Christmas ornaments for the tree or you can use them to create a Winter display right through the season. To make a sparkly icicle start by cutting or tearing a piece of aluminium foil a few centimetres longer than you want your icicle to be. Then tear off the lower corners to give a blunt triangle. This helps your icicle craft taper. Seriously, it doesn’t get any easier than this.
7. Borax Snowflake
These are so pretty! And how magical to just let the crystals grow over a couple days. I had no idea you could do that with Borax. The Borax crystals on the pipe cleaners looks so pretty and snowy. Nothing like a sparkly snowflake to make our desert feel a little more wintery. Homemade ornaments are my favorite and they are great crafts for kids so I am definitely trying this one out.
9. Foam Cup Snowmen
You can make almost anything into a snowman! But even if it isn’t snowing where you live, kids will love making these Foam Cup Snowmen.

10. Snow Slime
Almost all kids love playing with slime. What’s great is that you can make it for other people as holiday gifts and serves as a super fun winter activity. Mason jars make great containers for snow slime and they are cute. Gather your materials.
