Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. Â I love creating Christmas crafts with the kids, especially ones that involve the nativity. Â Today we are making a classic nativity craft that uses material you probably have on hand. Â Brings me right back to my Sunday School days, sitting in the basement of our church.
We are embracing winter and creating little indoor snowmen. I don’t like the cold, but have a thing for snowmen. Â Especially ones as cute as this one! Â Now we may just need to have an indoor snow ball fight. A favorite indoor game for all ages.
Hoot Hoot! Ready to turn a simple paper plate into an adorable owl? If you are a regular Housing A Forest reader, you will know how much I love both owls and paper plates. Combining both into one adorable craft just seems natural, and the results are perfect.
Gobble, gobble!  I have been busy creating adorable Thanksgiving crafts with my kids.  These adorable rainbow turkeys are so easy to make and since I love crafting with paper plates they are perfect.  Not only are paper plates inexpensive but I always have them on hand.  Read on to find out how to make your own adorable turkey.
For Remembrance Day last year, we made giant poppies. This year, we made simple ripped paper poppies.  They are easy to make, and only need a few paper scraps.  Love that!  Plus, they are a great opportunity for you to talk to your kids about gratitude and your country’s history.
