These six craft ideas below range from little parental guidance necessary to hot glue guns. So, choose the right ones for your family but don’t hesitate to make these your own.

Holiday Handprint Craft

Making Santa out of handprints is a great way to spend an afternoon. Of course, if you’re like my mother, these will remain in the Christmas décor box till the end of time. Seeing how small your child’s hands were decades ago is a Christmas tradition in our house.

Tissue Paper Christmas Tree

These are some colorful Christmas trees that you can make with your family. The colors in the photographs might be pink and blue but you can choose whichever tissue paper you want. Mod Podge is used for this craft, so it might be better to do with slightly older kids just to make sure they don’t use too much.

Pinecone Christmas Tree

We love the results of this clever craft. The natural variations and dimensions of the pinecone add depth and complexity to this festive depiction of a Christmas tree. Hot Glue is involved though, so supervision or assistance would be necessary.

Paper Doilies Christmas Ornament

By far, this is the most ornate craft on this list. However, it might look delicate and intricate but for the most part, it’s just an inventive use of a doily. You can also decorate them with as much as you like, not just the simple way they do in the photos.
