Different arts and crafts can breathe new life to a home and give it that fresh new look. There are hundreds of holiday-themed decorations and going directly to a craft store or decorating store would be ideal and at the same time fun. However, these decorations are usually pretty expensive and buying new items for your home for every occasion is not practical since it would cost a huge amount of money. A cheaper and perhaps more interesting alternative would be to let your kids or grandchildren create seasonal decorations for your home.
For autumn decorations, you can let your children create a garland for the mantel by drawing and coloring pumpkins. String the pumpkins on some brown or orange ribbon. They could even create papier-mch pumpkins or gourds that would make excellent decorations. This is a great activity that can also help bring the family closer together. Your kids will enjoy the activity while at the same time spend quality time with their parents or relatives.
Halloween is a great and there are many possible art projects in which your kids will enjoy making. In such occasion, children are able to roam around the neighborhood in different costumes and ask for treats. This becomes a great opportunity to let you and your children decorate your home. Increase the spooky factor and ambience by letting you kids create ghosts out of milk jugs by cutting out spooky eyes and mouths using black paper. You can make Halloween Eve bright and colorful by gluing the paper to the jug and place LED lights or LED candles inside the jug.
With that in mind, Thanksgiving is also another fun holiday with tons of options to choose from. For instance, you can take a large roll of paper and have children color it with leaves, pumpkins, pilgrim hats, the Mayflower, turkeys and other holiday themed items and use it as a table runner. You can also encourage your children to make place cards and placemats to use during Thanksgiving dinner. Your dinner table will become livelier when you or your kids decide to create woven placemats using brown and orange construction paper
Christmas and Hanukkah are also two fun holidays which gives children different art project option. Colorful long garlands out of red and green construction paper or dark blue and light blue construction paper can be made. Give your dinner table that perfect mood and feel by placing Christmas placemats made by placing a green tree on red paper and decorating the tree. Your windows should not be forgotten and cover pine cones with glue and then sprinkle with glitter and hang these in the window. Popsicle sticks can be glued into the shape of a Star of David and then decorated with blue beads, buttons or sparkles and these are fairly inexpensive.
You also might consider having your children create a drawing for your Christmas, Hanukkah or seasonal cards. You can have the option to take the drawing directly to a printer and have cards created or just have your children create all of the family cards for you. If they get a good head start, they can have quite a few finished before you need to mail them. Be sure to include a family photo with your cards. The experience is worthwhile and you might awaken and develop their hidden potential.
