Fa la la! ‘Tis the season for some easy Christmas crafts for kids! Ready to get creative this holiday season?
What do you think of when you think Christmas? Santa? The Christmas tree? Rudolph? Candy canes?
These are all things that come to my mind… and I’m positive that’s what my kids are thinking about (beyond presents!) when they think of Christmas. What’s the best way to get them excited about Christmas (as if that’s needed….)?!
Do some Christmas crafts to get them in the mood!
But, what are the best Christmas crafts to do with kids?
Here are 25 Christmas crafts I found that I absolutely love, including Christmas trees, Santa and his reindeer, and of course, candy canes.
If you’re in the mood for winter fun that’s not necessarily focused on Christmas, we have a ton of winter crafts for kids, snowflake crafts to make with kids, and snowman crafts for kids. You’ll never run out of ideas!
Whether you decide to make christmas ornaments, Rudolph, or popsicle stick christmas trees, these would all make incredibly cute Christmas gifts to give to family and friends. Or use them in the house as decor for the holidays!
Easy Christmas Tree Crafts for Kids to Make:
When the big tree is done being decorated, why not give the kids their own homemade version of a tree too?
Grab your crafting stash of glue, pipe cleaners, buttons, paper plates, glitter and pom poms!
We have paper Christmas trees, a straw Christmas tree, a fingerprint Christmas tree (click through that one, we also have a Christmas wreath to share), and a paper plate Christmas tree!
Here are even more Christmas tree crafts for kids.
Santa Claus & His Reindeer Christmas Crafts for Kids to Make:
Get out the milk, cookies, and carrots for these adorable Santa and his reindeer crafts!
Of course these reindeer crafts focus mostly on the one and only Rudolph, but it doesn’t have to be that way! Create eight reindeer with their adorable antlers and give them all their names!
And a Santa Claus craft isn’t complete without his big white beard! Which can be made from so many things (think cotton balls, white handprints, shaving cream, or white pom poms).
You’ll want some googly eyes, cotton balls, beads and pipe cleaners for these Christmas craft ideas!
Can’t get enough? Here are more Santa Crafts!

Too much junk food during the holidays? Try making these sugar-free candy cane crafts with the kids.

It’s fun to aim to make one new ornament a year with each kid and then have those to look back on each year as your decorate the tree. (Remember all the pasta wreath ornaments and handprint salt dough ornaments you made as a kid!?)
Easy Peasy Holiday Cards for Kids to Give:
We’ve also collected 20 of the best ideas for kids to make homemade Christmas cards to send out to friends and family, or we love to use them as gift tags on the presents! It makes them super unique and fun!
