christmas craft ideas


Recommended Posts

could you do a footprint rudolf for the babies? Paint their foot brown, toes become the antlers, add a red nose and some googly eyes. Our 2 and a half year olds did the same craft as our older ones and managed really well, for their Christmas cards, I made some gingerbread play dough and the children cut out gingerbread man shapes and decorated them with googly eyes, buttons, gems, etc. for features. We took a photo of each and then we have stuck on the photo to the front of a card and added a border.

In previous years I've done

 

Angel cards, using the little ones paint hand prints for the wings

 

Rudolph using hand prints for antlers and adding googly eyes and red pompom noses

 

a cardboard wreath using overlapping hands (drew round their hand on green card, cut them out and let the little ones glue them onto a cardboard hoop) and added a ribbon bow and hanging hoop. Older children did a similar thing with salt dough which we baked and varnished.

 

I also helped them to decorate plain cake boxes which they filled with the fairy cakes they decorated, gift bags with gingerbread Christmas trees - I bought the kits from Sainsburys and we made chocolate no-cook fudge in cellophane bags for gifts for them to take home.

 

Messy but fun....and the parents loved them !! I now send the recipes and/or home, too, as so many asked for it to make extra for grand-parents.
