Christmas Crafts For The Whole Family

This craft is very simple and works well with little children from preschool to early grade school years. The one pictured above was made by our 2 1/2 year old. She loves it and carries it around. I did the cutting but she colored it and enjoys gluing down the cottonballs to the cloud.

Download an angel, print and color.
Cut and glue angel and wings on to cardboard.
Cut all parts plus a triangular shaped stand from card board.
Draw a large cloud about the size of a piece of paper. Glue and cut from cardboard as you did the angel.
Write numbers one through 24 onto the cloud.
Put 24 cottonballs into a ziplock bag and glue one each day from December 1st until Christmas Eve.

Baby's first Christmas? Want it to be special? Here is a fun craft that will be enjoyed for years.

Place baby's foot in a tray full of brown paint, stamp to a piece of fabric. Add antlers and nose. Lightly stuff and sew to another piece of fabric creating a pillow. Add baby's name and date.

Christmas crafts help you focus on Advent and preparing for Christ's coming at Christmas. I hope you try out a few of these crafts with your children this Advent season.
