With the cold weather coming it is time to start coming up with a whole new host of craft projects for the kiddos. It could be a long winter and you dont want to be without activities for them! Our craft projects often start in the kitchen which is why Ive rounded up this great collection of food crafts for kids. These are great crafts for kids of all ages and I love how they encourage kids to be creative while also, in most cases, creating tasty snacks. Some of these would even be awesome to serve after Thanksgiving for a sweet treat!
Pasta PeopleRemember how much fun it is to play with dolls? Why not have kids make their own out of pasta! They can make whole villages and families and even act out scenes from their favorite book or history lesson.

Stuffed Strawberry PeopleThese fun strawberry people are a blast for kids to make. Get them involved in dolloping the cream in the center and maybe adding some on top to serve as hair or a hat! Serve up the platter of people for a light dessert after Thanksgiving. Oh - and don't forget to give the strawberry people names!

Watermelon LegosKids love legos. Kids love watermelon. Why not teach them how to use a simple apple corer to make their favorite snack into cool shapes? I wonder - can this be done with other types of melon? Get them involved with experimenting!
