This printable Christmas sweater craft for kids is such a fun way to bring holiday cheer into your home or classroom. We have included nine adorable sweater designs to color and decorate. This is an easy winter craft that would be perfect for a snow day or classroom party!
We love easy crafts and this printable sweater craft was a perfect activity for a snowy morning. We set out the templates and craft supplies from our craft bin and our kids spent over an hour creating their own little sweater masterpiece! You could put a spin on this craft and make it into an ugly sweaters craft for some added holiday spirit!
This craft would be a great craft for classroom holiday parties, a fun activity after Christmas dinner or a way to pass time during a snow day. If you are looking for other fun, simple Christmas ideas for the holiday season these Christmas tree suncatchers and this Christmas scavenger hunt are really fun too (and we strongly feel that crafts in the winter should be paired with a cup of our homemade hot chocolate 🙂 ).Â
