Make Your Own Indoor Icicle Wonderland: Family Friendly Kid Craft

With all the ice outside it is a beautiful winter wonderland but you cannot bring the ice into the house (would make quite the mess) you can create your own beautiful winter wonderland by using some craft supplies. Creating your own paint icicles is the perfect way to spend some of the Winter Snow days that all of the high snowfalls are causing.

Materials:

Blue construction paper
White craft glue
Silver glitter (or multiple colors for a different effect)
Old newspapers
Timeline:

Depending on how many you make this craft should take around 20 minutes and go up.

How to do it:

Lay out the newspaper on your workspace. This will make sure you catch any stray glitter and dripping glue. It will also make clean up a snap.

Choose your first piece of blue construction paper lay it out flat on your work surface.

Open your glue container.

Lay out a droplet of glue that is about the size of a nickel to the size of a quarter. Start in the right hand top edge of the paper.

With the glue droplet placed pick up the sheet of paper and hold it so that the glue drips down the paper to form your icicle.

Repeat the application of the glue and holding upright of the paper until you have as many icicles as you wish.

Take your chosen glitter and pour it onto the glue while they are still wet.

Once the glue is dry pick up your paper and shake off the extra glitter. And there you have your very own indoor icicle painting.

You can make as many of these as you would like and perhaps make a winter collage for you and your kids to enjoy. If you want to make a project that goes together for all of the seasons you could also create glitter collages for all of the seasons. Combining the glue in a similar drip pattern with Green for summer, a rainbow for spring and Oranges and yellows for fall the sky is the limit for your creativity on this project let your kids have fun.
