  • Chimney Santa Drop—a holiday take on the classic egg drop contest, complete with chimney
  • Indoor Snowball Fight—a snowball fight with safe, poof ball “snow” instead of the frozen water variety
  • Cardboard Gingerbread Village—combines creativity, recycling and engineering to create a gingerbread village entirely from cardboard
  • Peppermint Cotton Candy—crush up candy canes, feed them into a cotton candy machine, and out comes peppermint-flavored cotton candy 
  • Gum Drop Constellations—uses gumdrops to represent stars in the sky; combine them to make constellations
  • Kinetic Art Holiday Cards—created with a mixture of paint and marbles in a container; a bit of vigorous shaking creates an original piece of holiday card art
  • Holiday Photo Frames for the photo booth—an arts and crafts project where kids create a handmade frame for their holiday photo – perfect for the refrigerator!
  • Marbling Prints—use water marbling techniques to transfer patterns floating on the surface of water to paper
