DIY Christmas Crafts for Toddlers
I love Christmas. The sights, the smells, the crafts! As a mom it’s become even more special as I’ve worked to make the holidays special for our boys. One easy and simple way is creating DIY Christmas crafts for toddlers.
One of the best parts of Christmas is spending time with family and friends making memories. While this year might be different, one thing that always rings true with children is how even the tiniest holiday moments can create magical memories.
It hit me a few weeks ago that all of that “Christmas magic” I remember as a child really came down to one thing: a mom who worked really hard to make every holiday special. From crafting to baking, decorating and movie watching, to everything in between, DIY Christmas crafts for toddlers are a wonderful way to start making your holiday feel special for your little ones, too.
I’ve created a list of a wide variety of types of Christmas crafts for preschoolers and little kids that are simple, easy, and use items you probably already have in your house.
Whatever you and your little ones create this Christmas season, you’ll have a blast as you also create amazing memories for years to come.
