Santa’s Make Shop: Holiday Events at Michaels

Updated for 2019!

Looking for fun and unique ways for your kids to celebrate the holidays? Do your kids love arts and crafts? Then you have to check out the upcoming events this November and December at your local Michaels craft store. Since my kids have been old enough to hold a crayon, I have been bringing them to Michaels to create fun and unique crafts. Not only is it a fun way to encourage a love of art, it is also really affordable.

This holiday season, Michaels is not only offering their usual Saturday Kids Club events but they are also hosting MAKEBreak events AND Holiday MAKER Fest! The Kids Club events take place every Saturday from 10am-12pm and costs only $3. MAKEBreak events are FREE and take place from 1pm-3pm on Saturdays. Holiday MAKER Fest begins November 23 and takes place every Saturday 11am-2pm. Each experience offers a fun way to celebrate the holiday season!

We recently attended the MAKEBreak Decorate a Mini Tree event on November 9. The tree and all the supplies to decorate it were provided for FREE. My boys loved using their creativity to make their own unique trees. It was a fun activity that encouraged creativity while building important fine motor and visual skills. We cannot wait for the next event!
