12 of the Best Winter Art Projects for Kids

I love to decorate with kid art.

I know all parents say this, but I truly think my girls’ artwork is the best in the world. And, while best could be disputed, what can’t be disputed is that their art is more special to me than any other artwork I could hang on my wall.

If you’re anything like me (and I bet you are), you’re always looking for ways to inspire your kids to create.

All of these winter art projects would look great hanging on the wall. And, better yet, they’d all be tons of fun to create.

All of these projects are perfect for winter. They feature snow, ice, and all the colors you associate with winter. You’ll find projects perfect for every level, some are more process art and others are more detailed.

No matter which of these winter art projects you choose, they’re all fun to do and you’ll get a beautiful result.
