Winter is a season of togetherness, joy, and creativity. In our family, chilly evenings often turn into kids' craft sessions where simple materials become special memories. Something about holiday crafting draws us together and makes our time at home feel extra special.
Whether we’re baking salt-dough ornaments or painting homemade cards, holiday crafts remind us that the best gifts are the moments we share. So, we rounded up five holiday craft kits to inspire creativity and make winter days feel merry and bright.
1. Kids Art Box – Holiday Craft Kits for Kids
The Kids Art Box sets are full of festive art projects for kids, from snowy scenes to colorful ornaments.
Why we love it: What we love most of all is that Kids Art Box has kids' crafts for either Christmas or Hanukkah celebrations. With all the supplies included, setup is a breeze. Each project brings something unique, so everyone can find something fun to make while learning new skills.
Start a Tradition: Open this kit at the start of winter break for a week of family crafting fun and memory-making. The Kids Art Holiday Box can become a yearly way to kick off the festivities!
2. The Woobles “Stocking Stuff of Legend” Bundle
This crafty kit introduces the family to the cozy art of crochet in a beginner-friendly way. The Woobles bundle provides everything you need to stitch four charming holiday pals.
Why we love it: It turns craft time into a skill-building moment. Pre-started yarn and step-by-step videos make crocheting easy for kids and parents. If you have a crafty tween, they’ll love this bundle – it’s a new hobby and holiday fun rolled into one.
Gift Idea: Turn these mini crochet creations into heartfelt gifts. Turn your finished gingerbread man into a sweet stocking stuffer. Give Tiny Santa to a friend as a homemade ornament.
3. KiwiCo STEM Holiday 3-Pack
This special KiwiCo set blends holiday magic with STEM learning, turning Christmas crafts for kids into hands-on science fun. This kit includes three festive projects to build and decorate.
Why we love it: Each craft is a mini-science lesson. Kids love assembling the spinning candle carousel and the hand-cranked Santa’s sleigh, then watching them come to life. KiwiCo offers a fun way to learn about aerodynamics, mechanics, and more.
Deck The Halls: Let siblings team up during winter break! They can work together to create these mechanical wonders. Once they complete these children's art projects, they can become a charming centerpiece.
4. Brick Loot Holiday Main Street Lighting Kit
Instead of a typical craft, this kit lets you get creative by adding tiny LED lights to your LEGO Holiday Main Street set. It transforms our LEGO Winter Village into a twinkling wonderland!
Why we love it: Setup is simple: the wires and bulbs slide right into the bricks. Watch your kids light up when their set does. The project mixes crafting with simple electronics, and the warm glow we created together captivated the whole family.
Light Up The Room: Use your twinkling Main Street scene to adorn your family's fireplace mantle.
5. Hey Clay – Winter Holidays Air-Dry Clay Set
The Hey Clay Winter Holidays set comes with 15 cans of air-dry clay plus an app that walks kids through each character. Our kids had a blast making snowmen, penguins, and tiny elves.
Why we love it: The clay doesn’t stick to hands or furniture, so cleanup is easy. After a day, the creations air-dry into durable keepsake toys. Seeing your children proudly display their clay buddies as part of the Christmas décor is sure to make the family smile.
Clay Countdown: Because there are multiple clay figures in this kit, you can turn this holiday craft into a Christmas countdown! Make one character a week, or one a day, depending on when you receive the kit. Then, bring the whole cast of characters together In time for the Big Day!
