I’m not an artist, so when my kids recently asked me to draw a dog (it’s a dog!), I couldn’t figure out its shape. In the end, it looked more like a car. but! Here are four holiday crafts for clumsy parents that are so simple it seems impossible to go wrong.
my friend Erin Chan her children helped her make cutout portrait Use a grandparent’s name instead of a gift tag. How sweet is that? “The characters really look like my mom and dad,” she told me. “That confuses me.”
Martha Stewart Living Special this photo Photo ornaments that look like cookie cutters — I couldn’t find the original instructions, but they’re pretty self-explanatory, right? I like that the photos are black and white.
Jody Levine — A genius craftsman (remember her week-long costume?) — is mini gingerbread house Serve with graham cracker wraps filled with pretzels, cereal, gummy candy, or whatever else you have in your pantry.
Finally, I was appalled by these gorgeous bow tied around a candle. It’s fun to do with older children who know how to tie shoelaces, i.e. tie ribbons 😉
What are your thoughts? Do you do any crafts with kids or adults during the holidays?
