Easy Christmas Tree Crafts for Kids to Make:

When the big tree is done being decorated, why not give the kids their own homemade version of a tree too?

Grab your crafting stash of glue, pipe cleaners, buttons, paper plates, glitter and pom poms!

We have paper Christmas trees, a straw Christmas tree, a fingerprint Christmas tree (click through that one, we also have a Christmas wreath to share), and a paper plate Christmas tree!

Santa Claus & His Reindeer Christmas Crafts for Kids to Make:

Get out the milk, cookies, and carrots for these adorable Santa and his reindeer crafts!

Of course these reindeer crafts focus mostly on the one and only Rudolph, but it doesn’t have to be that way! Create eight reindeer with their adorable antlers and give them all their names!

And a Santa Claus craft isn’t complete without his big white beard! Which can be made from so many things (think cotton balls, white handprints, shaving cream, or white pom poms).

You’ll want some googly eyes, cotton balls, beads and pipe cleaners for these Christmas craft ideas!
