Low Prep Winter Crafts & Activities for Kids
I always find the winter activities for kids that both I and my little ones enjoy the most are the ones that require little to no prep. For obvious reasons. But an easy set usually means simple rules for them and a uncomplicated clean up for me. This is even more true during winter when you are stuck inside more often than not.

I have searched through Pinterest to put together this list of amazing winter activities and crafts for kids that are all easy to set up and for the most part only require supplies you most likely already have in your kitchen or bathroom and a few basic craft supplies.

If you have these basic supplies and a few more listed below you can do these crafts right now! All supplies for the activities are also included in this list, and although they easy to set up some require a little bit of prep. But the prep is crazy easy and usually involves putting something in the freezer for a few hours!
