20+ Super Easy Christmas Crafts for Kids
I have a love-hate relationship with crafts for kids. Pro? My kids love to make stuff. Con? Sometimes, projects hold their attention for exactly a minute and a half, leaving me with a table full of half-finished concoctions of paper, glue, and pipe cleaners. Here are 25 super easy Christmas crafts for kids that should be in your arsenal over the holidays.
20+ Super-Easy Christmas Crafts for Kids
My two boys are home from school for almost three weeks and I need to keep them entertained and (kind of) off of their screens. Bonus? Most of these crafts are made with things you already have in your house or things that are easy and/or inexpensive to get.
There really is no reason to spend a ton of cash on expensive craft supplies, although I can definitely do some damage at Hobby Lobby and Michael's. Kids' measure of fun doesn't equate to the amount of money you spend on supplies so your crafts will look perfect. The ones my kids have loved the best are made with scraps, recyclables, or stuff we have around the house.
