Paper Snowflakes
No craft is more perfect for both kids and adults than the time-honored tradition of the paper snowflake! Our Holiday Fun board has this original how-to and many more fun and wintery craft projects for snuggling up and home during a snow storm.
Alpaca Mittnes
The look is classic, the feel soft, and the retailer--The Little Market--socially responsible! We love these cable-knit alpaca mittens as stocking stuffer, or a gift for moms to give themselves and their kiddos!
Homemade Wrapping Paper
Let little ones get involved with the wrapping process by making homemade wrapping paper out of craft paper and rubber stamps (like this tree-emblazoned example from Vorstellung von Schoen). It's relatively mess-free and the delight inspired in gift recipients is sure to be contagious.
Fanciful Ornament
When it comes time to trim the tree, we're falling for adorable ornaments from Anthropologie! This fanciful little alpaca is unique pick for discerning parenting and it's certainly cute enough to please the youngest members of the fam!
Feeling Foxy
What does the fox say? He says be sure not to forget baby when suiting up the fam in fun winter outfits. We can't get enough of this woodland-inspired onesie from Mini Rodini--as seen on our Winter Wear for Kids board!

Treehouse Shakers

<div>Treehouse Shakers&rsquo; Branching OUT After-School program is for ages 12-14. This awarded program is for young people who identify as LGBTQIA+, or are seeking to become better allies. Branching OUT centers on discovering and exploring one&rsquo;s story and identity through an intentionally artist-led format. During our community-based program, young people will explore and reflect on their own story to create a larger, more meaningful experience, while gaining self-empowerment and gathering with like-minded peers. Through the guidance of our awarded teaching artists, young people will create narratives that will be turned into podcasts, dances, songs or poetry.&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>Young people have the opportunity to learn new art forms, work with professional artists, while building a meaningful community.</div>
