Oh, the weather outside is… gross.
It’s just really, really yucky, with icy rain and chilly winds, and all we want to do is curl up at home and not leave the house.
The problem? Keeping the kids entertained and not climbing the walls.
Luckily, most children love being crative and making things – especially if mum or dad join in. And so just to give us all a helping hand until the weather looks up again, here are 10 super-easy, super-festive crafts you can all get stuck into:
