Cute Christmas Craft Ideas

Although it isn't exactly related to what we do, we are all about family. And what better time for family then Christmas? Our nieces, nephews and grandkids will be coming for a visit, and we are always looking for ways to keep them happy and occupied. So we went in search of a few websites and blogs that had good craft ideas.

Here's just a few we found. The Santa Hat or Tree Topper would make a great craft that'll take more than a few minutes and they'll enjoy the results of their efforts if you use this cute little craft as a tree topper like we plan to. (You can find the directions at www.enchantedlearning.com)








I think this tree offers endless possibilities! If your child has a short attention span, this would be great because it involves a little cutting a gluing. If you have an older or more adventurous child, you could have them decorate this with little strings of beads, glitter glue or anything that appeals to their creativity. (You can find the directions at www.craftideas.com).






 

And what craft project would be complete without a Reindeer! This one is adorable because it uses your child's hand and footprint. When you've finished decorating it, be sure to date it on the back so you'll know just "how big" your little darling was! You can find the directions by clicking here. Thanks HogWild!


This is one my granddaughter brought home to me last year. I don't have the directions, but it looks pretty easy to figure out: Paint a clothes pin white, add some glittery paper or have them glue and glitter some white tissue paper, add the little triangle of white material for the angel dress, and cut out their face and glue it with a halo made of glittery pipe cleaner.





This is a picture of some of the many notes she writes to me that I keep on my fridge. If you have any cute and simple craft ideas for kids, please feel free to share them. We love to hear from our friends and customers!
