Holiday Kids Craft
A Jolly Collection of Christmas Craft Favorites

Here is almost two dozen spectacular EASY kids crafts that will make perfect gifts!

Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday and I love decking out the house with handmade crafts ESPECIALLY those not so perfect (filled with glitter and crooked lines) Christmas crafts kids make over the the years. The weather keeps us indoor more...so we pull out our craft supplies and start creating handmade holiday kids crafts for family and friends. Here is a collection of some of our easy kids craft favorites. Over the years, we have made candycane crafts, angel ornaments, handprint santas, clothes pin reindeer, tissue paper wreaths, and nature centerpieces. I’ve found it is always a good idea to have a simple, seasonal craft project in mind when you have a group of kids for a holiday. It brings them together and adds an element of tradition to the festivities. REMEMBER: The holidays should be about creating positive lifelong memories.

We have provided you simple printable instructions with photos of each project so children as young as four can complete the tasks and most can be modified for a mixed group with even younger children.

Crafting and Kids

These seasonal crafts, coloring pages and activities are geared for ages 3 to 8 years old. Designed by a preschool teacher and mother of five children (under 8) these crafts have all been tested and are suitable for preschools, day care, classrooms, troops and of course home.

While your children may not be able to participate in much of the cooking of Christmas dinner or purchasing Christmas gifts, you can put them to use by allowing them to decorate the house in anticipation with handmade Christmas crafts. Our tradition is to set up a craft table with several different projects at the Thanksgiving gathering. We use those crafts as presents for visiting family and decorations for our home.

 

Chosen because they are our favorite crafts perfect for getting the creative juices flowing. Don't be surprised if you child starts creating their own crafts, uses their imaginations more or makes up a story to go along with the completed project.
