Here are 3 of my Favorite Christmas Crafts for Kids! My kids are still little (Ages 5 & 3) So It’s hard to find things that they can help me make but they love making things for all of their Aunts & Uncles and Friends so this year we pulled out some classic Christmas Crafts for Kids that I did when I was little and had a BLAST Making these this year!

I am sure some of you have seen these before because they are classics, but I just love them and they were new to my kids so I thought I would go ahead and share them with you.

Candy Cane Ornaments are simple! Just take 2 full size candy canes and use Hot Glue to stick the middles and bottoms together! Then tie around your favorite Christmas Ribbon and hang these on the tree! You can also attach these to gifts with a Tag, they are a excellent little addition to gifts for the Holidays!

 

Lifesaver Candy Trains are MY FAVORITE! These are so much fun to make and to give (And receive :))

Here’s what you need:

1 Roll of Lifesavers 1 Package of Gum  (*small 5 pack of Stick Gum) 4 Peppermints 1 Hershey’s Miniature Candy 1 Bell Candy (We used Butterfingers) 1 Hershey Kiss

Use Hot Glue to assemble all the items together to form your Candy Train! These are really sweet gifts for kids to give their Friends and Classmates!

And one more classic that you don’t want to miss! Reindeer Candy Canes!

Here’s what you need:

1 Box of Candy Canes 1 Small bag of Red Pom Poms 1 Small bag of Eyes 1 Package of Brown Pipe Cleaners

Twist Pipe Cleaners around your candy cane at the center of a long pipe cleaner, Form Antlers.

Glue on Eyes and a Nose!

These also make really cute additions to gifts! Attach a gift tag and tie these onto a gift with Ribbon! It’s a fun way for kids to get involved in helping you wrap up gifts! These are also really fun to make with a Sunday School Class or School Classroom!

 

Also, don’t miss the Reindeer Cookies Recipe we just posted, this is another fun activity for kids during the holidays!
