Chinese Paper Cut Examples
Chinese Paper Cuts have been a traditional form of decoration in China at Chinese New Year and all year round for thousands of years. Why not have a go with the kids?
Horse Crafts
For a pet or farm animal theme or Chinese New Year of the Horse or perhaps just because your children love horses, we have a fun collection of horse crafts to enjoy with the kids! We've got sewing crafts for older children, simple handprint and footprint crafts for younger children, a stable craft, and even a pretty Dala horse craft idea. Explore below!
Dala Horse Craft
Dala horses (or Dalecarlian horses) are carved and painted wooden horses originating in the Swedish province of Dalarna. Originally made as toys for children, they are now a recognised symbol of Sweden. Have a go at making your own with this lovely Dala horse craft!
Footprint Horse
Little kids can have some fun drawing around feet, cutting out the shape, sticking it and ending up with this fabulous footprint horse!

Hobby Horse Bookmark
This quick and easy hobby horse bookmarks makes a super craft for a Victorian toy theme, any horse or farm theme, or of course for the Year of the Horse or children born in that year.
Horse Finger Puppet
This lovely horse finger puppet is a good craft for older children as it requires some sewing skills and the parts are reasonably small. The finished puppet is lovely!
Horse Mask Craft
Making this horse mask involves all sorts of crafty activities that younger children will enjoy - painting paper plates, cutting, sticking, and of course wearing the mask at the end!
Lolly Stick Stable
Whether for a farmyard project, or a home-made Nativity scene, this simple lolly stick stable takes a bit of patience to make but is well worth the effort.
Paper Plate Horse
Paper plate crafts are always popular, but we must warn you that this paper plate horse is slightly trickier than most of the paper plate crafts at Activity Village! Younger children will need help drawing and cutting the head and leg shapes, and perhaps with some of the sticking too.
