If there is one fond memory of the Christmas season with my family, it’s making crafts. As the weather got chiller, I loved to dig out the books of arts and crafts on the bookshelf, flip through the pages, and get out the craft materials. Ornament crafts for kids have become some of my holiday favorites. 

As I became a parent, I realized just how much I adored homemade Christmas ornaments adorning my tree. My tree never looks like one out of a magazine, but it definitely looks kid-decorated and is full of ornament crafts. These make great Winter activities for kids!

Ornament Crafts for Kids

One of my favorite things about ornament crafts for kids is that many of these on this list are toddler-made. However, older kids love making them as well. Often the craft can be adjusted depending on the age of the child, and in my own family, the older kids take pride in helping their younger siblings with some of the steps. 

Check out the ornament crafts for kids that we have posted on this site, and get creating!
