Have you been dealing with the sniffles in your house the past few weeks? Or, worse, the flu? From co-workers’ families to the little guys in my life, there’s been case after case of sick crafters who have had their DIY energy put on hold for a few days. This week’s roundup features a few quiet projects for under-the-weather kiddos to try – as well as a few ideas for you to make to brighten their day.

While this how-to from Happy Hooligans has Christmas in mind, removing the ornament hanger makes these slick ninjas a fun activity anytime of the year.

Cork Sailboat in a Jar

Put those leftover corks from holiday bottles of wine to good use! Have your child create a whole fleet of small boats with this idea from Handmade Charlotte.

Care Package Gifts

For small crafters with runny noses, lift their spirits a bit with a cold-themed care package. You’ll find a few fun ideas to present them with as well, as free printable gift tags, from Polkadot Chair.
