Kids Christmas Crafts

Now that Halloween is over, it is time to start thinking about Christmas and decorations coming up.  Kids love to get involved with this and I have found several great kids Christmas crafts that will have them spreading cheer around your place in no time.

1.  Peppermint Wreaths by Martha Stewart:

Instead of using glue, these edible ornaments are held together with icing.  These would be cute hanging from a metal tree as a centerpiece at a dessert table.

2.  Candy Cane Bead Ornament by All Kids Network:

This craft is an easy one to complete with pipe cleaners and beads.  Kids will have fun decorating the tree with their very own handmade ornaments.

3.  Snowman Jars by Art Craft Ideas.

Recycle your jars and let your kids make cute snowmen to line a shelf or table.  Just fill the jars with cotton batting and decorate with googly eyes and buttons.  Use fabric, ribbon, cupcake liners, pipe cleaners or any other trim that you have for extra embellishments.

4.  Pine Cone Angels by Nini Makes:

I love crafts involving pine cones and these little angels are just so sweet!  Just a few supplies are all that are needed to create these lovelies.  Click on the link for the step by step tutorial.

5.  Toilet Paper Roll Penguins by Our Big Earth:

Some wintry penguins made from recycled toilet paper rolls are going to be inexpensive and fun to make.  All you need to add is some construction paper, markers and maybe a little glitter!

Happy Crafting!
