This is one of our favorite Christmas crafts for kids! These ornaments are so easy to make and the kids can decorate them with whatever they want.

There are so many fun ways to make a Christmas tree! You can make a 3D one by cutting out a tree shape and then cutting it into 3 sections.
Then, cut out a few small circles and glue them to the top of each section. After that, glue each section on top of each other, and you have a 3D tree!
Another fun way to make a tree is to use toilet paper rolls. Flatten the roll and cut it into 5 sections.
Then, use green paint to paint the sections and glue them to a piece of paper to look like a tree.
After that, you can use pom poms, stickers, or any other craft supplies to decorate your tree!

A Christmas wreath is a fun and easy craft that can be made with simple materials. Have the kids paint the paper plate and set aside to dry.
Once dry, cut out the center of the plate and glue on the Christmas pom poms. Add a ribbon to hang and you have a beautiful, easy Christmas craft!
If you have a pool noodle, you can use that as the base of the wreath and simply attach the Christmas pom poms with a hot glue gun.

If sewing isn’t your thing, you can even make a paper Christmas stocking. These would make a great craft for a classroom or for a party!

There are so many things that kids can make to give as gifts. I have a whole list of handmade gift ideas for kids here.
But, one of my favorite things to do is to make a Christmas ornament. Then, the kids can keep one and give the other away.
