Looking for a creative way to spread some holiday cheer this Christmas season? Look no further than these Christmas cards that kids can make!
Letting kids create Christmas cards is more than just a fun activity; it's a meaningful way to foster creativity and spread joy during the holiday season. These cards make precious little keepsakes, cherished by all their loved ones.
While these diy birthday cards are more intricate, sometimes one only needs a simple design idea. Here are several fun and festive Christmas card ideas that kids can make:
1. Air-Dry Clay Stars Christmas cards
Kids will love creating thin air-dry clay stars using cookie cutters. Once they are dry, just let them glue on cardstock. Feel free to embellish using finger paint, crayons, or even a ballpoint pen, depending on the age of the child.
These personalized clay Christmas cards are as cute as they are easy to make.
2. Paper Scraps Christmas Tree Cards
Using green scraps, cut out triangles in various sizes and arrange them on folded cardstock to resemble a Christmas tree. Add embellishments like buttons or sequins as ornaments, or - like here, a dab of white tempera paint to stamp snowflakes on paper trees.
Please mind that depending on the age of the toddler, this might be a two-parter activity. In our case, it was. In one session, he glued the triangles together, and later, as a completely separate activity, he scattered the white snowflakes onto the trees.
This tactile card is perfect for little hands to create! Easy Christmas cards to make by toddlers.
3. Snowman Fingerpaint Cards
Let your child dip their fingers in white paint to create adorable snowmen on blank cards. Add details like hats, scarves, and buttons with markers or colored paper cutouts. These cheerful snowman cards are sure to warm the hearts of their recipients.
4. Button Bauble Cards
Glue colorful buttons in different sizes and colors onto blank cards to create festive baubles. Draw a ribbon to each button to make them look like they're hanging from a Christmas tree branch.
5. Fabric Patchwork Cards
Cut out small squares of holiday-themed fabric and glue them onto folded cardstock to create a patchwork effect. Embellish with ribbon, sequins, or glitter for extra sparkle. These fabric patchwork cards are a great way to use up scraps and create unique designs.
6. Pom-Pom Snowflake Cards
Glue white pom-poms onto blank cards in the shape of snowflakes. Add glitter or sequins for a sparkling touch. These pom-pom snowflake cards are easy for kids to make and perfect for sending warm winter wishes.
7. Handprint Holly Cards
Trace your child's hand onto green paper and cut out the shape to create holly leaves. Glue them onto blank cards and add red pom-poms or berries for a festive touch. These handprint holly cards are a sweet way to showcase your child's artwork.
