A Crafty Christmas

As the holiday season approaches, children’s excitement over stockings, treats, and presents is in full swing. Keeping that joyful energy engaged can be a challenge, but Christmas crafts are a wonderful way to channel it. Crafting not only brings the spirit of Christmas into your setting, but it also lets children create decorations they can be proud of. All these crafting ideas can be completed under a school canopy so the children can still have the benefits of the outdoors. Here are some fun and festive craft ideas:

Christmas Tree Biscuits

A tasty, hands-on activity! Christmas tree biscuits may not make lasting decorations, but children love baking. You can find a simple recipe here.

Christmas Cards

Create custom Christmas cards using stickers, colouring sheets, and children’s imaginations. These make wonderful, personal gifts for family and friends.

Christmas Collage

Reusing last year’s Christmas cards, children can cut out festive images and create colourful collages on card stock.

Wreaths

With tissue paper, dried flowers, and faux berries, kids can craft beautiful wreaths to display on walls or doors, adding a traditional holiday touch.

Carol Cards

Print the words to popular Christmas carols, mount them on card, and let children decorate them. These make great wall decorations or can be used during carol singing events.

Snowflakes

A classic! Paper snowflakes add a festive touch to windows, walls, or can even be strung up as bunting. If you need a tutorial, check here.

Paper Chains

These traditional decorations bring a festive atmosphere to any room. Children enjoy making them, and they provide a fun way to practice colour patterns, counting, and measuring.
