These Christmas crafts for toddlers and preschoolers are perfect for the classroom or home! Almost all of these Christmas crafts can be completed with supplies you already have in your craft cabinet – or can easily be found at your local craft store.
Just trying to simplify our Christmas activities over here!
I’ve always loved Christmas – but there is truly something so magical about seeing Christmas through Little’s eyes. Everything is so new, exciting, and worth celebrating.
It’s a good reminder for me to slow down this time of year and really take the time to enjoy all the little parts of the season. Today, I’m rounding up some of my favorite kid-friendly Christmas crafts for this year – many of which I’m hoping to do with Little this month.

And that’s that for this year! Hopefully you’ve found at least a couple projects that you and your little ones can do together this year.
The thing I’ve really learned about crafting with toddlers is that the process – not even always the product really is the most fun and special part. Crafting is a really fun way to start some family traditions, encourage creativity, and just to enjoy some quality time together.
It doesn’t have to be perfect to be memorable.
What are your favorite crafts this time of year? Hopefully this post will inspire you to get crafting with your little one this season! There are so many fun memories (and ornaments) to be made!

Some wonderful ideas here! As you say, it is brilliant seeing Christmas anew through a child’s eyes. Thank you for sharing. #HappyNow
It is so wonderful to see things through the eyes of our kids! I hope you have the best New Year!
These are adorable! Most of them look pretty easy, too! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you; I definitely tried to choose simple projects that could easily be recreated at home without a ton of special, one-time use supplies!
These are such cute ideas! Thank you for rounding these all up. Not only would they be great to do with your littles during the holidays, but some would be perfect for holiday parties at their schools!
Thanks! I really love them – and you’re right, they would be fun for school parties, too!
Thank you so much for this great list of Christmas crafts and where to find them. I plan on finding a craft for my grandkids visit this week from all of these great ideas. Thank you for sharing this on Party in Your PJs! I’ve pinned and shared.
Thank you so much; I hope you are able to find a great craft for your grandkids! I’m sure they will love whatever you choose!
These sound like fun! I needed some ideas for what to do next week too. 🙂
I think they really are fun! Hopefully you’ll find some inspiration for the break!
So many great ideas, thank you for sharing at The Really Crafty Link Party. Pinned!
I love that pine cone reindeer, by the way!
Thank you so much for sharing the pine cone reindeer is really fun and cute!
A great round up of crafts ideas for those little fingers! I can remember doing a few of these with my boys when they were little. Thanks for sharing with us at the Virtual Refrigerator. Pinned.
Thank you so much! We’ve really been enjoying crafting this season!
I love doing Christmas crafts with my kids or at least trying to! LOL! Our crafts may often look like Pinterest fails, but we are making memories and that’s what really counts!
Totally! Although I’m sure they don’t always turn out like Pinterest fails, I really do think the important thing to remember when crafting with kids is that the memories are made in the process and that it’s less the final product that counts!
The festive necklace sounds fun. My daughter loves anything jewellery related! Hope you have some fun over Christmas getting all crafty! Thanks for sharing with #bloggersbest x
Great ideas for rainy day afternoons!
Thank you! We are definitely hoping to get to several of these!
Yes, this post is inspiring for me to dive into crafts more with my young children this Christmas! (I’m keeping this post up on my computer, so I can grab a few quick ideas in the next few days/weeks.) 😉
Oh good! Hopefully you were able to get to some of them!
Oh so much here to keep the littlies busy for Christmas. I’ve just been making reindeer lollipop holders for my tiny tot gymnasts as an end of year gift 🙂 Wonderful time of year 🙂
It is such a fun time of year! The lollipop holders sound so fun!
These are such great ideas! My little guy broke a few ornaments thinking it was a ball! 😩 We can make new ones and add more character to our tree this year by personalizing it with homemade ones.

I feel the same way! I love the personal and homemade ornaments – they are so special!
Snow globes are always a favourite here #RealCraftyLinkParty
Those are really fun!
Ok a lot of these are so adorable- I will be doing a lot of these with my little girl- she will love it.
Thanks for sharing
Oh good! I like all of them so much! They should be really fun!
These are some really fun ideas. I love the pinecone reindeer. I think my son would love that!!

Love this list. Always on the lookout for easy activities for my 2 and 5 year old.
These would be perfect for them! Hopefully you’ll get some craft time this season!
When my girls were little I loved doing crafts with me. All of these crafts look awesome.
I am really enjoying this stage and being able to craft with my little guy!
My 3 year old granddaughter would love these!
Oh good! They are really great for that age!
Pinning for my daughter who teaches Pre-K! Thanks for sharing at The Blogger’s Pit Stop! Roseann from http://www.thisautoimmunelife.com
Thank you so much! I appreciate you stopping by and sharing! We’re looking forward to doing some of these projects over the next few weeks!
These are such cute ideas for my toddler! I’m sure she would really enjoy some craft time. Hopefully next year when her brother becomes more independent, we can all do a craft together!
It’s so much fun! Crafting with little ones is definitely different – and certainly not perfect, but it is a lot of fun!
Love crafting with my kids! My preschooler and I will have to do some of these crafts!
Same! We’re hoping to get to some of these, too!
tHANKS for sharing this! We just made salt dough ornaments today and it was…messy…but fun too 🙂
I’ll be heading back here if I decide I am brave enough to try another craft again :p
Definitely do another!! Crafts are so messy with little ones, but that’s some of the best parts!
These are really great ideas. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you; I’m glad you enjoyed them!
Great Ideas! Crafty,Simple and Cute!
Thank you! I agree!
I love how you place such an emphasis on crafting with Little to learn new things rather than videos. Even without kids, I still find it interesting to see which new things he’s able to learn through all your fun activities!
He is such a sponge! I certainly try to find things to encourage and stimulate his learning, but I so often find myself trying to keep up with him! He is learning so much everyday!
Thank you for compiling the links to these great Christmas crafts! Pinning for later!
Absolutely! We can’t wait to try more of them!
I am with you on easy and yet fun crafts for little ones to help us with. And your list is perfect. I will definitely be trying a few soon with my girls. Plus, thank you for including my mason jar lid ornaments craft here, too!! 🙂
Absolutely!! I love the Mason jar wreaths; they are so simple and pretty!
