If you’re looking for a simple and adorable winter-themed activity to do with your kids this season, you’ll love this Paper Mitten Craft.

This craft only requires a few supplies, is mess-free, and is a quick activity to do with your kids.

If you work in the church, this craft could be used with a Bible lesson on the topic of Psalm 139:13-14 which tells us how God “knit” us together in our mother’s womb. This craft can easily be used for a Sunday School, VBS, or a homeschool supplement.

Once the craft is complete, write the Psalm 139 verses shown below or a simple message like “Knit together by God!” on the top of the paper and it’s the perfect combination of cute, easy, and faith-based.

‘For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.’

– Psalms 139:13-14 NIV

Supplies:

Scissors
Construction Paper
Yarn
Cotton Balls
Glue
Markers/Crayons/Colored Pencils (optional)

Steps:

Start with one color of construction paper for your background and another color for your mittens.
Trace your hands or freehand cut some mitten shapes onto your mitten designated color construction paper.

Glue each mitten shape onto your background paper.

Next, cut a piece of yarn about 6-8” long and glue it to the paper. Make sure each end of the yarn is connected to one of your mittens.

Gently pull apart some cotton balls to fluff them up, and glue them to the bottoms of each mitten.

Let your glue dry and your paper mitten craft is complete. Leave the craft as is or take it one step further. If you have the time, consider using markers & crayons to decorate the mittens, write a message, or write a Bible verse in the open spaces of the paper.
