So technically, it's not school break yet. But, we had a snow day today even though there is no snow. So, ideas to keep kids busy got started early.
1.Have the kids create their own 12 Days of (insert holiday here) and perform it for the family. It's really fun to see what they come up with but beware you may not want to know what your kids are imagining; see my 6 year old's version for Halloween below.
To tie into this project you could crochet a few birds that could either be a partridge or a calling bird or just because they're cute. I crocheted the birds above from the book Kooky Crochet: 30 Remarkably Wacky Projects
. The pattern is Amigurumi Birds (rav link), by Sharleen MarcoOther patterns for really cute birds:
Birds of a feather, by Hannah Kaminsky
Caroline's Birds, by Marlo Cairns

I think "skull kitties" is the coolest part. Did he mean kitty skulls? Skeletal cats? Cats with trendy skull patterns on their hoodies?
