Keep 'Em Busy

Are children part of your guest list at the holiday table? Here are some great craft sites to help you plan kid-friendly activities to keep little ones busy while the adults enjoy the meal...

• Thanksgiving Crafts (FamilyFun)
• Thanksgiving Crafts (Kaboose)
• Winter/Cold Weather Crafts (FamilyFun)
• Chanukah/Hanukkah Crafts (Kaboose)
• Kids' Christmas Crafts (Martha Stewart)
• Christmas Crafts (FamilyFun)
• Christmas Crafts (Kaboose)

Note that Kaboose has video ads throughout their site, which automatically start playing. Be sure to click on the volume icon and mute unless you want to go insane. Aside from that minor annoyance, they offer an abundance of crafts, coloring pages and decorations for kids to create. They also cover other winter holidays such as Kwanzaa and Chinese New Year.

If you'd rather consult craft directions in print, place a hold/pick up one of these titles from your local library.
