Christmas craft ideas for children?
Dec 15th, 2008 by admin
I’m looking for some good, cheap & easy Christmas craft ideas to do with my 3 1/2 year old.
I was hoping to give something small and personally made to family and friends. I also thought this was a good opportunity to make Christmas fun and entertaining!!
Does anyone have any suggestions?
wreaths !
all you need to do is buy paper plates and cut a hole in the middle to make, then get green tissue paper and scrunche it into a lot of little balls to glue and cover the paper plate with, and then make red tissue paper balls a little bigger for like berries or something, or just be creative and decorate it however you want, maybe add a big red bow to the top of each wreath.
or you could make reindeers out of popsickle sticks and add a pompom for a red rudolph rose..here a pic of wat i mean: http://z.hubpages.com/u/134195_f260.jpg ,, or theres this: http://z.hubpages.com/u/134189_f260.jpg

We have done key chains with the bakeable homemade clay one year.
Another year we decorated candles from the craft store. The plain pilar candles were 3.00 and the smaller ones were 1.00. We used glue and glitter on some for my younger kids, and my older kids used semi-melted crayons to draw on the pilar candles.
We go to the craft store and buy wooden cutout’s, we poke holes at the top, and decorate them as ornaments.
This year we collected baskets with handles, decorated them with glitter, and filled them with homemade baked goods.
