While there may not be snow on the ground or even a chill in the air, that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate the Winter season with your kids! From fantastical animal creations to snowy winter scenes and everything in between, we’ve put together a fun list of DIY crafts for your kids to explore at home.

Birch Tree Painting

This tape resist craft is one your kids can really get their hands on without much effort or mess! To get started, simply set up a piece of cardstock or watercolor paper on your dining room table and tape it down creating a border at the edge. Next, have your kids tear pieces of tape to form their preferred tree shapes on the piece of paper. Depending on what you have on hand, fill in the background of the paper with markers, watercolors, food coloring, or whatever your preference. After the background has dried comes the satisfying step of tearing off the tape to reveal your white birch tree design!

Polar Bear Masks

Cute and playful, this simple craft mask is perfect for children of all ages! The first step is to grab a handful of paper plates from your kitchen and cut two holes for the polar bear’s eyes. For the snout, you can use any small plastic cup you may have on hand, such as an empty yogurt container. If your container is not white, you can paint it with acrylic paint, and also use this same container to trace shapes for the bear’s ears onto a sheet of craft paper. Next, use craft glue to adhere crumpled pieces of white tissue paper to the plate to look like fur, covering everywhere except for where the snout will go. Glue down the ears and snout, drawing a mouth onto the snout with permanent marker, and gluing a black pom to the snout for the nose. Finally, punch two small holes in the sides of the plate and attach a piece of string or yarn, and your kids’ mask is ready for playtime!

Homemade Snow Globes

A childhood favorite of many parents, this creative kids craft is a winter classic! First have your child pick out a small plastic figurine or Legos that they are willing to part with in order to make their snow globe. Next, grab a mason jar from your pantry and place some glue on the inside of the lid, adhering your kid’s plastic toy to the lid. You will then fill the jar with cold water, add a teaspoon or two of glitter, and stir. The next step is to add a few drops of glycerin and then screw the lid back on tightly, or even seal it shut with glue if you’re concerned about your child opening it. Flip the jar over, shake it up, and watch your glitter ‘snow’ in your homemade snow globe creation!

There are so many great ways to keep the kids entertained without having to leave the house or spending too much money. Plus, these crafts are sure to inspire your kids’ creativity and teach them the benefits of recycling!

There’s no better time than the beginning of a new year to give your home a “mini makeover.” As you look ahead to 2021, think about the areas of your home that you’d like to spruce up a little (or a lot)! From two-tone kitchen cabinets to the Pantone colors of the year, there are so many fun trends to try out in your favorite spaces. Take a look at a few of our top home design trends for 2021:

Two-Tone Cabinets: When it comes to your kitchen cabinetry, two is better than one! We love the eye-catching look of upper and lower cabinets in two different colors, and the best part is that you have a variety of unique combinations to try. Whether you enjoy soft, light colors like white and powder blue, or a farmhouse chic look with black and gold, you’re bound to find the perfect color scheme to reflect your style. Best of all, we’re now offering two-tone cabinets in our Lennar kitchens!

Statement Headboards: Nothing says “relaxation” quite like a beautifully designed bedroom. And nothing completes a well-rounded look than a statement headboard for the bed. This year, it’s all about vibrant, lively headboards that become a focal point in the room. From tufted and nailhead styles, to geometric patterns and bright colors, the options are endless. Plus, you can paint an accent wall behind it to complement the look!

House Plants: If you love the calming, natural aura of house plants, situate them throughout your favorite spaces, like your kitchen, bedroom, or family room. This is an easy way to spruce up your home without having to make a big adjustment. Try herbs, peace lilies, English ivy, pothos, Chinese evergreens, and more to brighten up your rooms. You can also add pops of color and personality with unique planters.

Grandmillennial: Yes, you read “grandmillennial” right! This up-and-coming style is all about comfort, and incorporating the “homey” decor pieces you might find in your grandparents’ home into modern spaces. The grandmillennial trend includes things like floral wallpaper, rattan coffee tables, antique paintings, scalloped lampshades, delicate china, crocheted throws, and more. Get creative and see what feels right!

Ultimate Gray and Illuminating (Yellow): Every year, Pantone announces a “color of the year” that embodies a unique message. For 2021, they chose Pantone 17-5104 Ultimate Gray and Pantone 13-0647 Illuminating (yellow), two uplifting colors that convey strength and hopefulness. These soft, modern hues work beautifully together (and apart) in any space — try using them as wall colors, in furniture accessories, throughout table displays, and more. These yearly colors provide endless opportunities to give your home the fresh, contemporary vibe you’re looking for in the new year.

From all of us at Lennar, we hope you have a fun time sprucing up your home in 2021!
