New Year, New Crafts: Creative Arts & Crafts Projects for Kids in 2025
Published on Nov 22, 2024
As the calendar turns to 2025, it’s the perfect time to spark creativity and encourage kids to dive into new arts and crafts adventures. Whether you’re planning a party or just looking for fun, educational activities to keep little ones entertained, crafts are the perfect way to start the year with imagination and joy. At The Buzzard’s Nest, we specialize in bringing creative magic to Leighton Buzzard and beyond, offering exciting craft parties and projects tailored to children of all ages.
Here are some fantastic ideas to kick off the new year with creativity and fun!
1. Vision Boards for Kids
Encourage children to set goals and dream big with their very own vision boards.
Materials Needed:
Magazines, old calendars, or printable images
Cardstock or large paper
Glue sticks, scissors, and markers
How-To:
Let kids cut out pictures, words, and shapes that represent their aspirations for the new year—whether it’s learning a new skill, visiting a fun place, or spending time with friends. This activity promotes self-expression and is a keepsake they can cherish throughout the year.
2. Firework Art
Celebrate the new year with colourful firework-themed art projects.
Materials Needed:
Black paper
Paint in vibrant colours
Forks, straws, or sponges for creating firework effects
How-To:
Dip the tools into the paint and press or flick them onto the black paper to mimic fireworks lighting up the night sky. This is a fun, tactile activity perfect for younger children.
3. Winter Wonderland Snow Globes
Craft miniature snow globes that kids can display at home or gift to loved ones.
Materials Needed:
Small jars with lids
Glitter and water-resistant figurines
Glycerin (optional, for slow-moving glitter)
Waterproof glue
How-To:
Help kids attach figurines to the inside of the jar lids, then fill the jars with water, glitter, and a drop of glycerin. Screw on the lid tightly, shake, and watch the winter magic come alive!
4. DIY Party Crowns
Perfect for New Year’s celebrations, kids can create and decorate their own crowns.
Materials Needed:
Cardstock or pre-cut crown templates
Stickers, gems, markers, and glitter
Stapler or glue
How-To:
Let kids customize their crowns with sparkling decorations. Once they’re finished, fit the crown to their head size and secure it. These can double as party hats for a new year’s party!
5. 2025 Keepsake Handprints
Capture a moment in time with a handprint craft that celebrates the year.
Materials Needed:
Non-toxic paint
Paper or small canvases
Markers or stencils
How-To:
Paint kids’ hands with vibrant colors and press them onto the paper or canvas. Add “2025” underneath with a marker or stencil. These keepsakes make lovely gifts for parents or grandparents.
