Ornaments should be kid-friendly! They don’t have to be too complex for kids.
This holiday, you can be a supervisor while your kids make simple yet classy Christmas ornaments rather than having to be on the lookout for them while working on the ornaments yourself. Or you can make Christmas preparations more engaging by having them make some ornaments with mum.
Here’s a list of super easy and adorable DIY Christmas ornaments for your kids.
Festive Paper Ornaments
These paper ornaments are very much easy to make. The bulk of the work is finding festive papers after which you’ll craft them into cones, spheres, or bells. You can wrap thin, long cutouts around tiny tree branches, and attach tinsels to both ends of the branch.
Snowman Keepsake Ornaments
Kids grow up fast. You can cut their outgrown cotton clothes into different shapes. Add snowflakes cutouts from cardboards or plain sheets and hang them on your Christmas tree, glue a number of them to a strap of ribbons, and hang them on your hallway.
Paper Straw Ornaments
Grab a couple of paper straws and cut them to like a tiny Christmas tree using a triangular cardboard cutout as a base. Glue these straws to the cardboard and attach them to the door or your Christmas tree depending on the size.
Peppermint Candy Ornaments
Holidays are no holidays without candies. Grab an extra supply of festive candies, and hand them on your Christmas trees using twines. Or you can affix them to a cardboard in a decorative manner. You can use them to trace out different shapes or designs. Just be sure to keep them from the reach of ants.
Pinetree Ornament
This craft is a very easy one. All you need is cardboard or carton, green or white thread, and a few beads. Cut your cardboard or carton into the shape of a Christmas tree, wound the thread one color at a time around it, and glue a few beads to it.
These crafts will require parental supervision as kids will have to use sharp objects.
