Children's Christmas crafts not only entertain and engage young children, but they also get them excited about the upcoming Christmas holiday. Even better, they’ll have some cute decorations to save and cherish through the years. Depending on the age of your children, crafts can range from the simple to the elaborate, and many provide teachable moments as part of a homeschooling or preschool curriculum.

Children's Christmas Crafts: Paper Ornaments
Materials You Will Need:
Small bowl
Cardstock
Scissors
Hole puncher
Yarn
Seasonal magazines to cut up
Glue
Glitter

Use a small bowl to trace a circle on cardstock. Older children can cut the circle out on their own, while younger children may need some assistance.

Use the hole puncher to punch holes around the edge of the ornament. Children can weave the yarn through the holes, and then tie it in a knot toward the back of the ornament.

Let children locate a Christmas picture in a magazine to cut out and glue into the center of the ornament. Create a glitter border on the picture to finish it off. Be sure to write the child's name and year on the back of the ornament so you'll be able to save it for years to come.
