Cozy winter crafts that spark creativity and support calm—after school!

Each week features a seasonal hands-on project to make and take, helping kids unwind and express themselves through creativity:
❄️ Week 1: Falling Snow Sensory Bottles
Swirl your own snow scene in a calming sensory bottle.
✨ Week 2: Snowflake Slime
