Krafty Kris’s ideas for easy crafts for kids of all ages…
1. Clay Christmas Cookies
Sculpey clay that can be baked in the oven rather than being fired is a great product for easy crafts for kids.
Using the clay and Christmas cookie cutters, kids can make super cute Christmas ornaments that resemble Christmas cookies and they can decorate them with paint, glitter, sequins, or just about anything that can be brushed on or glued on. If you make a hole in the clay before you bake it, you can easily thread a ribbon through the masterpiece to make it into a hanging ornament.
2. Paint-by-Number
Paint-by-number kits are easy crafts for kids. They are often available with Christmas pictures and a kit contains the pre-printed canvas, the paints and the paint brushes. Kids just love creating their own paintings to use for Christmas decorations.
3. Stained glass kits
Stained glass Christmas ornaments are easy crafts for kids to create. Some have ornaments that are colored with markers or paints to look like stained glass, and some kits actually have pieces that you assemble and bake to create the stained glass effect.
4. Shrinky Dinks
Shrinky Dinks are easy crafts for kids and if you haven’t made Shrinky Dinks with your kids, you just don’t know what you’re missing! Shrinky Dinks are shrinkable plastic pictures that your kids color and cut out. Then you bake them and they shrink! Shrinky Dinks can be made into ornaments or used for decorations and they are fun, easy crafts for kids of all ages.
5. Santa’s cookie plate
Talk about easy craft for kids! All kids will love decorating a paper plate to use for Santa’s cookies. Using paper plates, construction paper, markers and glitters, kids can come up with all kinds of original ideas for decorating their cookie plate and Santa will certainly be impressed!
