Family Crafting Month ~ Free Projects from Craft-a-Day! (+ a Givewaway)
We’re excited to kick off Family Crafting Month with Sarah Goldschadt, author of Craft-a-Day: 365 Simple Handmade Projects. We love it when generations gather during the holiday season to create fun things together, and we also like fresh, new ideas for kid crafting time during the school break. Making things with your hands is the perfect way to calm (and direct!) some of the busy energy and excitement that grows in the holiday season. We have a fantastic line-up of contributors ahead this month including Emily Neuburger, Jenny Doh, Joel Henriques, Abby Glassenberg and Jenean Morrison.
Update: Comment on today’s post to win a free copy of Craft-a-Day!
Today’s Family Crafting Month selection is actually several projects in one!
Sarah Goldschadt is the designer and crafter at sah-rah.com. Sarah’s book, Craft-a-Day: 365 Simple Handmade Projects, is organized with weekly themes (Snowflake Week! Hexagon Week!), and includes a huge range of fun, easy projects to inspire creativity every day of the year. All of the projects are very accessible for kids and adults alike!
Today Sarah and Quirk Books are giving you a free PDF excerpt from Craft-a-Day: 365 Simple Handmade Projects.
Download all of the projects for Snowman Week here (and the corresponding Snowman Template too). Projects include Snowman Gift Tags, Snowman Cake Toppers, Snowman Cards and a Felt Snowman Ornament.

Wonderful book!
Looks like some great crafts to make with the little ones.
I remember doing crafts with my mom and dad and sister as a family. Those are previous memories. Kids might not think much of it at the time, but it’s good quality time that kids will remember. Giving them a love of creativity is such a gift that helps them discover themselves and the world around them. Kudos to this mom for helping spread this wonderful craft.
This looks like a great book. I have a three and a half year old who surely needs to be kept busy! : )
So adorable!
My kids would totally take the title to heart and we would be doing a craft everyday. What an awesome book!
This looks like it has some great and easy projects to do wth my Gigi who always want to do “projects”. Thanks!

I would love to win this book so I could keep my grandsons busy when they visit.
Looks great!
I need this as an incentive to get me crafting with the kids again.
Thanks.
I just checked it out on amazon. It looks perfect for our family. We have three little girls ages 7, 4, and 2, so I think we’d make a lot if these! We’re making the snowmen for cupcakes today!
It looks amazin!

As a kindergarten teacher, mom and coach I’m always looking for craft inspiration, looking forward to getting a closer look at this one, looks much fresher than a lot of others out there.
