Christmas Paper Craft Ideas for Kids to Make at Home

Christmas
paper craft ideas for kids to make at home
Christmas is a
wonderful time to get crafting and experimenting with the many ways paper can
be transformed into special things. From clever festive origami shapes and DIY hamster toys to Christmas cards and
decorations, here are four Christmas paper craft ideas for you and the kids to
enjoy making at home.
1 Christmas cards
First things
first, let’s create some cards! With just a sheet of paper they’ll be able to
let their imaginations run wild. There are so many fun ways to make Christmas cards, from sticking down
Christmas shapes with glue to using ink pads and stamps – you could even cut
festive shapes out of potatoes and dip them in paint.
You can get even
more creative by making pop-up cards.
2 Christmas gifts
Once the cards
are sorted, it’s time to move onto the next level – crafting Christmas presents
out of paper. The kids can make sweet gifts for all members of the family, even
the pets!
Find a new use
for those empty loo roll tubes and tissue boxes by creating DIY hamster toys –
their furry friend will love a new house or maze to explore. Or you can use those
empty boxes and tubes to make recycled gift boxes for the humans in the family.
Of course, pets like cats are often happy just with a cardboard box or sheet of
paper to play with!
3 Christmas snowflakes
We all love a bit
of paper play, and origami can be as easy or as difficult as you like. A simple
paper snowflake is a great way to introduce the younger members of the family
to origami. All you need to do is fold a square sheet of paper over and then
get cutting. Just like real snowflakes, no two paper snowflakes will be the
same, which is all part of the fun!
You can decorate
them with paint and pens, or leave them pristine and white, before sticking
them on the windows and the walls.
4 Christmas decorations
The origami work
can become more complex with older children, and they can create some amazing
Christmas decorations from a sheet of paper and some clever folding. Use
patterned, festive-themed sheets in golds, reds and greens for that wow factor.
You’ll be able to find tutorials online for how to make impressive shapes, like
Christmas stars.
You can also keep
things simple by cutting circles out of paper and gluing them together to make
Christmas flowers. A little pompom in the middle is the perfect finishing
touch.
With these four ideas
you can enjoy lots of Christmas paper craft fun with the kids.
