Splendid Holiday Craft Ideas For Preschoolers

By: Kerry Beck

Christmas ornaments you've made yourself are some of the best loved ornaments to trim the Christmas tree. Every year that we put our ornaments with my kid's photos on the tree, I treasure those memories very much. It makes me remember the times when my kids were younger.

I'll teach you how to make these splendid holiday craft ideas for preschoolers. Even your small preschooler could make one. It'll make a great holiday craft your preschoolers can make for grandparents.

Christmas Tree

You can start by using a three-inch tree outline to cut from 1/8 inch green spongeboard. Let your preschool child participate in decorating the tree. Dots from many colors of spongeboard can be easily punched out. Your young child can glue these brightly colored cirles on to the tree as ornaments.

After that, cut a 1/2 inch hole at the bottom of the green tree. Place the photo to the back using sticky tape so the picture shows through the opening. Then add a red ribbon loop at the tree's top.

These holiday Christmas ornaments using photos are so affordable and easy to make, you can design one for each family member. To add a personal touch, have each child write his name and year on the back with a black felt pens.

Felt Bells

My son's first Mother's Day Out teacher gave me one of my favorite Christmas ornaments using photos. His teacher cut blue felt in the shape of a three inch tall bell. A smaller white bell was also cut. She placed a hole in the middle for the photo.

You can attach the photo to the white felt so the picture shows through the hole. Glue the white bell on top of the blue one so there is a blue border all around.

You can mark the edges of the white felt with glitter glue pen. Make an opening in the bell top and thread blue ribbon to make a loop.

You're almost done. Make another bell from blue posterboard. Add it to the back of the bell to stiffen this delicate holiday Christmas ornament. Attach a small jingle bell to the ornament's bottom. The teacher wrote my son's name and the year on the back.

Tada!, these splendid holiday craft ideas for preschoolers add life to your Christmas tree this year. Now you can admire your child's handmade ornament.
