There are several winter activities that you can take advantage of as a family.

This craft idea below is a great way to mix up the winter fun. You’ll find a variety of activities to do that are both in home and out of the home! Use this winter bucket list to enjoy the rest of the winter months while you can.

Supplies:

Wooden Craft Sticks
Metal Bucket
Ribbon, Blue
Paper Shred, White
Snowflake Cut Out
Washable Markers
Craft Paint – Variety of Winter Colors
Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
Scissors
Paintbrush
Shipping Tag – White
Permanent Marker – Black
Pencil

Instructions:

Base coat twelve wooden craft sticks with a variety of Winter inspired colors. Let dry and the apply a second coat, if necessary. Because these sticks will be seen from both sides, flip over and paint the backs of the craft sticks.

Using a pencil and then a permanent black marker, write a Winter Bucket List activity on each of the twelve craft sticks. Get the kiddos involved to create your list! You can also use the back of each craft stick to add more activities. Here is a detailed photo of all twelve Winter Bucket List activities.

Measure and cut a length of blue ribbon to wrap around the circumference of the metal bucket, and then attach with the glue gun.

Using the light and medium blue washable markers, create a plaid pattern on the white shipping tag by drawing grids. Write WINTER BUCKET LIST on the tag with a permanent black marker. Cut an 8-inch length of blue ribbon, loop through shipping tag and tie to the handle of the metal bucket. Accent with a snowflake cut out.

Add the white paper shred to the bucket and then insert the Winter Bucket List craft sticks. Remove each stick as the family completes the activity. Add dates to the craft sticks and incorporate them into journal entries or scrapbook pages for added fun!
