Have some fun with these crafty days in November! Falling between the months featuring Halloween and Christmas there is still plenty of crafty fun days to be had in November. These days aren’t specifically about crafts rather the important and fun celebrated days of November that can be used for crafting inspiration. We love days that are dedicated to special holidays and events that we can make crafts and fun activities for! Some of the days that we are really looking forward to include, Polar Bear Week, Origami Day and Cake Day!

Making crafts with children gives the opportunity to talk about the special day, and adults to reflect on why the day is important. Or maybe it is just a day for celebrating something fun either way we don’t really need much of an excuse to have some crafty fun!
