Christmas Crafts for Kids
Simple Christmas crafts you can do with your children
With the holiday season upon us, it’s time to think about some fun crafts you can do with your children in preparation of Christmas. My kids always loved doing holiday crafts and I’m sure yours will too! It has always been challenging to find age-appropriate crafts that all the children will enjoy making. My children only have about two years between them, so we have amassed quite a collection of crafts and craft ideas as we looked for ideas that they could both do together as well as ones that were age-appropriate for each of them. Here are a few suggestions you can use. Consider it an early Christmas gift from me to you!
Bead garlands are one of my all-time favorite crafts. They are fun to make, extremely colorful, and great for children of all ages. You will need some string or plastic cord, a whole lot of beads, some scissors, and some glue. Cut the string or cord to the desired length, and thread it through the first bead. Tie a knot around that bead, and add some glue to keep it secure. Now add the rest of your beads. When you reach the end, tie the string off on the last bead and add some more glue. Now that was fun, wasn’t it?
Pine cone ornaments have also become classics in our Christmas craft repertoire. They are appropriate for children of any age…
