Easy Christmas Crafts for Children
By Nicole Dean
Remember how much you had creating Christmas art projects? Nothing brings out
the kid in you better than sharing some together time with your own children and
there’s no better time to do it than during the holiday season! Start the season
with some cute and fun to make Christmas crafts that your kids will love.
Candy cane Reindeer
What you’ll need:
Candy Canes
Glue
Brown Pipe Cleaners
Small googly eyes
Small Red Pom Poms
Thin festive ribbon
Small jingle Bell
Instructions:
Take your brown pipe cleaner and twist it into a V shape under the curve of the
candy cane, or ‘neck’ of your reindeer under construction… Bend the pipe
cleaner again to shape into antlers. Take your googly eyes and glue them onto
the candy cane. Glue a red pom pom on the candy cane for a ‘reindeer’ nose. Tie
the thin ribbon around your reindeer’s neck and string the jingle bell on for
the final touch! You might want to glue the ribbon to the candy cane to secure.
Make a bunch of these cute candy cane reindeer, and hang them on your holiday
tree!
Pasta Holiday Wreath
What you’ll need:
Small Paper Plates
Variety of different pasta shapes
Glue
Holiday color tempra paint
Festive ribbon for bow
Instructions:
Cut the center out of your paper plate. Choose some really interesting pasta
noodles, and glue them all around the outer ring of the plate. Try real hard to
cover the entire plate! After the glue has dried, take your tempra paint and
color the pasta. Have an adult tie the ribbon into a bow and then glue it to
your wreath. Display them all around your home during the holiday!
