10 DIY Christmas Ornaments
Many years down the road I would love to decorate our Christmas tree with only ornaments my kids have made. Making ornaments is a fun craft to do with your kids. All you need are simple crafting supplies and a little bit of time.
These ornaments are easy to make. And younger kids can make them too. With a little help from a grown-up.
I didn’t make many ornaments when I was a kid. But my Mom still hangs up the few that I did make every year. Seeing those on the tree reminds me of memories from Christmas’ during my childhood.
I want my children to have the same memories someday when they are grown. I hope they will remember the fun we had while making these ornaments!

Having Fun with the Kids
Crafting with your kids is a great way to spend family quality time together. It’s a time to slow down during the busy holiday season.
I definitely think it’s easier to craft with my kids when it’s around a holiday because it gives us a theme to work on.
