Christmas is for Crafts
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!
