Some of our favorite Christmas memories start at the kitchen table with glue sticks, glitter and a little bit of mess. Crafts are a fun way to slow down with your kids, and a natural way to talk about why we celebrate.
Here are 10 simple crafts that each point to part of the Christmas story, from Nativity ornaments and candy cane crosses to Wise Men crowns and "Happy Birthday, Jesus" cupcake liner art. There are ideas for toddlers and for older kids, and most use things you already have at home.
Want help with the glitter? At Christmas at The Hills on Sunday, December 6, at 10:00 AM, Hills Kids (birth through 5th grade) will have Christmas crafts, games and a Christmas Bible story while you enjoy the service. It's free at Baypoint Prep Academy, and everyone is welcome. Plan your visit →
