Easy Christmas Art Activities for Kids

November 30, 2024 by Sarah White

There are so many different holiday themed arts and crafts projects that kids can do, but I wanted to share a bunch of easy ones that you ca do with a classroom of kiddos or at home to display through the season. (A lot of these projects would be great to do at school for kids to give as gifts.)

This watercolor snowflake project from The Crafty Classroom uses bleeding tissue paper to make the effect. If you don’t have any on hand you can just paint on the template with watercolors.

Speaking of watercolor, these watercolor geometric holiday designs are super cute painted with watercolors. Get the templates from The Best Ideas for Kids. You could also just have kids color them in with crayons or oil pastels if you don’t have watercolor paint handy.

Make a painting of a Christmas tree in a window with this project idea from Projects with Kids. It doesn’t take a lot of supplies but looke really pretty and would be cute to make into a greeting card or just to decorate the classroom.

I love these little printable pop up scenes for kids to color from Krokotak. They look like little snow globes and feature a pop up snowman, gift, tree and house so kids can pick their favorite to make.

Shaving cream marbling is a classic kid craft, and you can give it a holiday twist with this project from One Little Project. It’s shown as a Christmas tree but you could make it into a snowflake, bauble or anything else you like.

And speaking of baubles, while we’re veering into sensory territory, why not try painting with Christmas ornaments? This idea from Happy Toddler Playtime is easy to set up and fun for kids — just make sure you’re using non-breakable ornaments! This is another one where it would be fun to do the painting and then cut it into festive shapes to use as ornaments or in other projects.

Free Cowl Crochet Pattern – Stiles Cowl

I recently discovered the Stiles Cowl pattern on Crochet.com, and I must say, it’s quickly become one of my favorites! The design is both stylish and practical, perfect for adding a cozy layer during those chilly days.

I appreciate that the instructions are clear and easy to follow, which is essential for a smooth crafting experience. I haven’t made it yet, but I can already envision how delightful it will be to wear. The texture looks rich and inviting, and I’m excited to see how the yarn choice will impact the final look.
