A children's Christmas: 10 fun craft projects for the little ones to try

Christmas is, as we know, a holiday that everyone likes. The atmosphere, gifts and decorations have the power to put almost anyone into a good mood. This is even more true for children.

For them, it is the best time of the year. And only they can experience the true Christmas spirit with authenticity and joy. Entertaining kids with projects and activities related to the Christmas theme can be for both them, and the adults who supervise them.

Whether you are parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts or teachers, guiding children in creative activities for Christmas will be a real pleasure. Here then, are a few fun activities you can do with your little ones:

To create simple, truly unique greeting cards, all you need is colored cardboard, disposable cotton disks and a few other items that can be easily found. You can have fantastic Christmas cards with cute snowmen in no time.

Another simple, cute idea for a Christmas card is to decorate it using colored buttons. The example in the photo depicts a stylized reindeer, which even the little ones will surely find adorable.

A Christmas wreath is a must for the period. To make it for the children, you can use a paper plate outer which can then be decorated. 

And why not try making artificial candles? With cardboard, straws and toilet paper rolls, this can be very easy to accomplish.

Snowmen are one of the most common Christmas subjects - especially in children's artworks. Polystyrene balls of different sizes and joined together make for a super-cute snowman.

Another type of wreath can be made by joining together cut-outs of the tracings of the hands of the children themselves. The project will be fun and unique.

And by using the same method, you can easily make a wonderful Christmas tree. This is a very nice project to do, for example, with a group of children who all work together to make the tree.

To make wonderful gift packages, you can decorate common paper bags to look like reindeer, as shown in the image above.

And for very young kids, perhaps those in kindergarten, the idea of cutting out tracings in shape of candy canes (and then finger-painting them), is a fantastic idea.

Finally, here are some wonderful Christmas-themed characters, created by using rolls of toilet paper and felt cloth. This project can be a lot of fun.

Involving the little ones in projects like this will bring everyone involved a lot of Christmas joy!
