  1. Stamped bags with snowflakes

This is a simple yet innovative craft idea that seamlessly suits Christmas. Have the children make gift bags, covered with beautiful snowflakes. They can use these bags to gift nice treats to others or to family members.

They simply require a brown paper bag. They can either stamp the snowflake shapes all over these bags. Alternatively, you can easily make snowflakes by folding white paper and making cut-outs of snowflakes.  These are then pasted on the front and back of the paper bag.  Decorate with balls of cotton and hang with string for display.

  1. Santa Claus with calendar

When Christmas approaches, children can make a calendar with the face of Santa Claus integrated into the craft.  Children can either draw Santa’s face on a large piece of cardboard or use a variety of paper, materials, to cut and paste Santa’s face. For the beard, fringe or divide white paper into 31 parts. Arrange the dates suitably on the beard and simply hang on the wall.

  1. Christmas Jar

Each child will need a clear glass jar, no lid necessary, and a very small tea light candle. Children use acrylic paints to decorate jar with Christmas pictures, stars, bells, angels, tree, holly, baubles, Santa face, reindeer, elves etc.  When dry, they place tea light candle inside and give as a present to a family member.
