DIY Christmas Ornament Crafts for Kids

Making DIY Christmas ornament crafts with the kids is the perfect way to begin the holiday season. Children young and old will love making festive decorations to hang on the Christmas tree. Today we are sharing a collection of Christmas ornament ideas for kids to make. Older children will be able to make many of these Christmas crafts independently, babies, toddlers and preschoolers will need a little guidance.

Our collection of Christmas ornaments is growing by the day and we love them! They look so adorable hanging on the Christmas tree and its lovely to see how the type of ornaments being made change as the children get older.

For babies and younger toddlers keepsake ornaments are always a popular option. Even if they are mainly created by mum or dad, handprint and footprint crafts are a perfect reminder of how tiny your little one is, as they really do grown far too quickly.

Fingerprint ornaments and ornaments made from air dry clay are fun for older toddlers and preschoolers as well as older kids, as they can make them mostly independently once they are shown what to do.

I personally love any ornaments that double up as keepsakes, especially those that have a photograph as part of them and I love the wood slice ornaments that seem popular this year.
