FESTIVE DIY CRAFTS FOR KIDS

The holiday season is a truly wonderful time of year, perfect for spending intentional time with your little ones. Whether you celebrate, or simply engage with some of the holiday rituals, there are countless ways to get the whole family involved in decorating your home that will create a real sense of joy and festive spirit. With so much to do, it can also be useful to find some activities that will keep your children occupied and satisfied. What better way to introduce some seasonal cheer than homemade, holiday-themed crafts?

SIX SIMPLE CRAFT IDEAS 

These festive DIY crafts are suitable for children of all ages and, with a little supervision, will keep your little ones occupied for hours!

Paper decorations

To complement the lights and baubles on your tree, add a traditional touch with paper ornaments. Your children can trace out the shapes they want on colourful pieces of card and (carefully!) cut them out. Glitter, stickers or even a touch of paint can be added for an extra personalised touch. Simply punch a hole near the top of your little one’s paper creation, thread a piece of ribbon through and help them to hang it on the tree.
