Christmas Craft FAQ
Popsicle Stick Ornaments: Grab some popsicle sticks, paint, and glitter, and create a Christmas tree, snowman, or Rudolph ornament to hang on your tree.
Handprint Crafts: With just a bit of colored paper, your little one’s handprint can transform into the most adorable keepsake that makes excellent holiday cards. You can make a handprint Santa, Rudolph, or a Christmas tree.
Pasta Garlands or Wreaths: Who knew pasta could be so festive? Paint them green, red, and gold, add some glitter, and hang them up.
Toilet Paper Roll Crafts: Turn those empty rolls into cute snowmen or little elves. You only need toilet paper rolls and basic crafting supplies that you can get at the dollar store.
Paper Plate Crafts: All you need is paper plates, paint, glitter, and basic craft materials to transform an ordinary paper plate into a Santa, Christmas Tree, or even Grinch!
Sock Snowmen: One lost sock and some rice — and you’ve got a snowman who won’t melt indoors!
