With Christmas getting ever closer my kids have been super excited about the big day and have been spending their weekends making loads of Christmas crafts. I love Christmas tree crafts as they tend to be a lot easier than Santa or reindeer who can be a bit tricky to make, simple Christmas tree ideas can make great crafts for toddlers and older kids can make fantastic looking crafts with lacing and wrapping yarn.
These scrunched paper Christmas trees are really popular every year and are a great way for kids to practice their fine motor skills. They’d be great on the front of Christmas cards too!
This Christmas tree craft is perfect for fine motor skills too and is really easy to set up
Get your kids to make a textured tree for this scissor skills Christmas tree craft, my kids loved decorating them too.
We love sharing suncatcher crafts and have made quite a lot over the years, I love this cute stained glass Christmas tree suncatcher which looks great hung in a window
My kids love colouring and so do I as it’s a great way to keep a bit of calmness at an otherwise hectic time of year! This Christmas tree colouring page is perfect.
Do you like paper plate crafts? I’m a big fan as they can be so cheap to create and perfect to do with a group of kids. These paper plate Christmas trees look brilliant and I love how they stand up.
These craft stick Christmas trees would be great for older kids who will be able to wind the yarn around them.
I love these Christmas trees made from pasta which would be perfect for kid made Christmas cards.
This tree made with tissue paper looks great and would be lovely to have around the house to make it look festive
Another paper plate craft but this one uses lacing too which looks really good.
