Starting a 365 Project with Your Kids: Creative Ways to Celebrate 2025!
HAPPY NEW YEAR, South Alabama Homeschooling!
As we step into 2025, are your kids starting any 365 projects this year? These year-long projects are a fun, creative way to document growth, develop skills, and create meaningful keepsakes. Plus, they’re easily adaptable to different ages, making them perfect for homeschoolers. Here are some inspiring ideas to get your family started:
1. 365 or 52-Week Photography Projects
Photography is a fantastic way to blend art and technology, and it’s as simple as snapping one picture a day or a few each week. You can freestyle the project or follow a prompt list to guide your kids.
Create a folder on your computer to organize their photos, and consider sharing them in a private Facebook album or blog to keep everything in one place. By the end of the year, they’ll have a photo journal that captures 2025 from their perspective!
Check out this guide to get started:
2. 365 Days of Drawing or Painting
Art projects like drawing or painting are perfect for kids of all ages. They can experiment with techniques, explore artistic styles, or simply document their day through pictures.
This creative journey not only improves their skills but also leaves behind a wonderful keepsake. Imagine uploading all their artwork into a photo book or portfolio at the end of the year—what a treasure that would be!
3. 365 Journaling
Daily journaling is a great way to boost writing skills and practice self-expression. Kids can write about their day, answer prompts, or reflect on their feelings.
Journals can be freestyle or guided, making them adaptable for all ages. Plus, they can use their journal as a creative outlet to add doodles, photos, or mementos.

4. 365 Sewing Projects
If your kids love crafting, consider a sewing project. Embroidery, cross-stitching, knitting, or crocheting are all wonderful options.
Projects can include a daily icon representing their day, a set number of stitches toward a larger piece, or a temperature project where colors represent the daily weather.
These short, simple projects can introduce kids to sewing skills while creating something meaningful to cherish
5. 365 Thankful Jar
Cultivate gratitude by starting a thankful jar! At the end of each day, your kids can write one thing they’re thankful for on a slip of paper.
It could be as simple as their favorite snack or the family pet. At the end of the year, read through the notes together or compile them into a printed list for their scrapbook or yearbook.
This project is a beautiful way to reflect on the blessings of the year.
Why Start a 365 Project?
These year-long activities teach commitment, creativity, and consistency. They also provide a tangible record of your kids’ growth over time. Whether it’s through photos, art, writing, or crafts, these projects help build skills while encouraging self-expression and reflection.
