Make a cozy winter craft with this torn paper mittens activity for kids. A fun and easy paper craft that helps build fine motor skills. Simply print, tear, and glue. Perfect for classrooms or snowy days at home.
Winter crafts are some of my favorites. There’s just something cozy about sitting inside with scissors, glue, and a pile of colorful paper while it’s cold outside. These torn paper mittens are such a fun and easy winter craft for kids.
This project is perfect for little hands. Tearing paper helps build fine motor skills, and kids love tearing paper into small pieces.
You only need a few simple supplies to get started: paper, glue, and a mitten template. You can use any colors you like. I like to use shades of blue, purple, and white to make them look wintry. My daughter made red and light blue mittens.
First, print out a mittens template. Then let the kids tear colored paper into small pieces. Once they have a little pile, they can start gluing the pieces inside the mitten outline. They can overlap the paper or create a pattern; it’s totally up to them.
This craft is quick, simple, and fun for all ages. It’s great for classrooms, snow days, or just a cozy afternoon at home.
So grab some paper, turn on some winter music, and make your own set of colorful mittens today.
