May is a great month for celebrating unique holidays with your kids. Craft projects provide fun and excitement for kids on holidays. Here you will find crafts you can do with kids for the unique holidays in May.
Colorful Socks
A unique holiday in May is Lost Sock Memorial Day, and in honor of this holiday your kids can make colorful socks. For this craft you will need fabric paint in a variety of colors, paper plates, sponges, socks, and scissors. You should also cover the work area with newspaper and have a place where socks can dry.
Then squeeze some paint onto the plates. Help kids cut the sponges into smaller pieces and shapes. Then assist kids as they paint the sock using the sponge. Help them by showing them how to dip the sponge in the paint and dab it on the plate to avoid excess paint. Pressing the sponge to the sock in a variety of ways can also provide different results. Have fun with your kids by making unique socks for this fun May holiday
Lucky Penny Favors
Lucky Penny Day is another holiday that can be fun for crafts. For this project you will need some pennies, crayons, paper, markers, and scissors. You can also use other coins if you like, and larger fake coins also work well with younger kids.
Start this holiday craft by help kids do a rubbing of the coins. Demonstrate this technique to kids by placing the coin under the paper. Then rub the side of a crayon gently over the paper where the coin is located. Applying the right amount of pressure will replicate the image of the coin.
Then let kids write lucky coin or penny somewhere on the coin. To celebrate this holiday you can also help your kids make many lucky pennies and give them away to people for fun.
Tours of the World
National Tourism Day is also in May, and this holiday provides a lot of fun craft ideas for kids. An easy project requires only, paper, crayons, and pictures of places around the world. Have fun looking at places around the world with your kids. Then decide on a couple of places and help your child draw the place; the more imaginative the better. Place the drawings in a scrapbook or frames to remember your tour of the world with your kids.
These crafts are easy and fun to create with your kids in May. Fond memories and laughs are guaranteed when you celebrate these unique holidays.
