Where I live we are in the middle of a real cold snap... It seems like the temperature has not been above zero for several days. It is too cold to put on our mittens and go outside to play, so I figured why not stay inside and play with our mittens. Here are some fun mitten-related crafts and activities:- Make these Craft Foam Mitten decorations.
- Learn how to make a story sack for Jan Brett's The Mitten.
- Construct a Mitten Drying Rack to use after you play outside.
- Learn how to sew a simple pair of Fleece Mittens.

It’s funny how a little thing like mittens can be so darned cute! My kids did the Mitten story bag in school, and they really loved that project.
I read your outline of mitten crafts today. Do you have any patterns for kids that have various animals knit on the top of the mitten? Thanks for your help.
