Joyful Christmas Crafts for kids - Innovation Kids Lab

Joy for me is creating art and making crafts. As much as I love creating my own art I also enjoy creating with my kids. My mother was a crafter and the smell of a hot glue gun still reminds me of my childhood. Creating with your kids whether it is an open ended works of art or a craft it is still quality time together.

This simple craft uses recyclable materials so the cost is minimal and only takes a few steps to make. What I love is that this idea can be used several different ways and you can easily modify it to fit your needs. It also is simple enough kids can make their own or you can work together as a family to illustrate your own favorite holiday word. Another idea is have each child illustrate a letter too! You can easily adapt and change this project to your child’s skill level.
