Fun Christmas Craft Ideas for Kids

 

Christmas is the time that allows everyone to spend some good time with family and friends. Christmas is all about making fun memories that will last forever. If you have kids at home your Christmas will become more enjoyable. Whatever you and your little ones plan to do the most important thing would be spending quality time together.

In this blog post, you will get some ideas shared by the Covina, CA playschool teachers about some fun Christmas craft ideas for kids. You just need to grab some glue sticks, paint, and some other regular stuff to get started.

Snowflake stamped bags

If you are done spending enough time with your preschooler in the kitchen making and decorating cookies, it’s time for you to head to the craft room. There, with your kids, you can put together a quick set of snowflake-covered give bags for gifting your delicious treats.

Use snowflake rubber stamps and light blue, dark blue, and white ink to make stamp snowflakes on the front of the brown paper bags. Using a small round hole punch make two holes in the top of the bag. Then tie a piece of red and white twine through the holes. Child care centers kids love playing with the colors while making these bags with teachers.

Santa Advent Calendar

Kids will have fun helping Santa’s beard grow with fluffy cotton balls. You will be surprised to see by the 25th he will have a full-grown beard. 

Cut Santa’s face from white craft paper and add some texture with colored pencil. Help your child to cut pink cheeks, eyes, and nose from the construction paper and stick them to the face. Cut the hat from red and white craft paper and stick this to the face. Blue a large cotton ball at the point of the head. Now, take a white craft paper and cut a long beard shape from it. Let them write the dates of the month leading up to Christmas on the beard. Hang the calendar to your child's height and keep a bowl of cotton balls nearby. Every day they will stick one cotton ball on the calendar and help the center to grow his beard.

Jingle Bell Swag

In Covina, CA playschools, teachers have fun making this Jingle bell swag with kids. Let them thread the balls on the ribbon while you tie the bow. You can use this sweet holiday noisemaker to decorate your house; hang it either on the front door, above the mantle, or at the end of a bed.

To make this noisemaker thread large jingle bells on three lengths of ribbon and then not one end of the ribbon. Tie the end part around a small garland form or a length of wire shaped into a circle. Wire together a small bunch of seasonal greenery and attach the same to the wreath or in a circular form. Now tie an oversized bow and stick it to the wire just above the greenery.
