Christmas is such a great time to get creative and personal, especially if you have little ones. After a little bit of research and creative thinking, I found that there are so many cute and easy ways to make crafts and keep your tots busy for the festive season, and most of them can be made out of household items.
Here are five ideas that can make your Christmas tree or home so much more personal and creative:
1. Handprint Ornaments
You will need plain ball ornaments (choose a colour of your choice), paint and your little ones hands. These are perfect gifts for grandparents or just something personal to add to the Christmas tree.
2. Christmas themed toilet roll characters
Save those empty TP rolls and create cute characters such as Santa, snowmen or even reindeers. You will need empty toilet paper rolls, paint and some imagination. You can even use googly eyes and pipe cleaners to jazz it up.
3. Pine cone Christmas trees
These are perfect to use as handmade decorations for your Christmas dinner party to show off your little ones talents. You will need a pine cone, paint and any decorations that you need to make your tree as you would like it.
4. Handmade Christmas Cards
These are so easy to make and you can use any extra 'thingamabobs' lying around such as ribbon, buttons, wool, toothpicks, straws or even pasta to create your handmade card for grandma or dad to say Happy Holidays. Be creative. You can even draw pictures of your family or pets.
5. Christmas Key chains
Have any old keys lying around with no use? Here is a great idea to turn them into something special and unique. Let your little one make key chains for family and friends that are Christmas themed.
Here is some examples:
These are just some ideas that you can use to jazz up your home or Christmas tree and to keep your tots busy this festive season. For more great DIY tips and tricks, keep an eye out for my next blog!
