Christmas holidays are a favorite time, both for children and adults. It is the perfect time to create handmade Christmas crafts with your children, which will fill the house with magic.

From ornaments for the Christmas tree to handmade greeting cards, these crafts are ideal for creating unforgettable moments with children, who love handmade and creative play.

Christmas Tree Decorations from Cinnamon Sticks

Cinnamon sticks, apart from their unique aroma, can be transformed into beautiful Christmas decorations with a few materials and a lot of imagination. To get started, you will need glue, cinnamon sticks in various lengths, ribbons, buttons and other decorative materials. 

• For a Christmas star, glue two large sticks vertically and two small ones horizontally, adding a decorative tassel in the middle or a ribbon. Tie a piece of twine or thread and you have a wonderful ornament for your tree.
• For a Christmas tree, glue ribbons successively from small at the top to larger at the bottom, onto a large stick and add decorations.

Christmas Sponge Stamps

Create creative Christmas stamps with your child using a sponge. Simply draw the outline of a Christmas tree on an unused sponge. Then, carefully cut the sponge to create the stamp.

Next, give your child the opportunity to dip the sponge into their favorite colors. The resulting Christmas stamps can be used to decorate Christmas gift wraps, drawings, and other creative Christmas crafts.

Christmas Masks

Masks are a source of joy for children and the process of making them is extremely easy and fun.

• You can choose your favorite design, print it, color it, and cut it out, attaching a piece of string or elastic to the back so it can be worn. To make them, you will simply need markers, string or elastic, and glue.
• Alternatively, you can use colored paper and make Santa Claus and stick it to the plastic plate, from which you have cut out the bottom. You can add cotton to the bottom of the plate to make a beard. In addition, you can add a piece of thick paper to the bottom as a handle, so the child can hold it. To make them, you will need plastic plates, cotton, and colored sheets.

Snowman from craft sticks

Buy craft sticks and using colored cardboard or other craft materials, create a scarf, eyes, nose, hat, and arms. In this way, you create a snowman that can also be used as a puppet for a puppet theater.

Original Christmas cards from craft sticks and cardboard

Although the Christmas craft below may seem challenging, it is actually simple. Glue craft sticks side by side, choosing sticks of the same length. Then invite the children to paint them.

Once they have dried, create Christmas cards together by gluing cardboard onto the sticks. Let the child express their own wishes by adding a personal message to their handmade cards.
