Christmas Crafts

"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might."
Ecclesiastes 9:10

Do you enjoy making crafts? Using your creativity and odds and ends, you and your family can create together wonderful crafts to decorate your home, tree, or share with your friends.

Huddling around the kitchen table with your children with the smell of brownies baking in the distance can be a very memorable experience for you and your children. When making crafts with little ones, it is most important to keep it SIMPLE! Make sure and select craft projects that your child can complete with a minimum of assistance to prevent frustration.

Always assemble your "ingredients" beforehand and have everything ready when you sit down to create your project.

Not all of the craft projects below are for children so please be sure to check out the instructions before selecting your project.

There are many great craft ideas below for the Moms or GrandMoms of the house too! Get yourself a hot cup of cocoa and enjoy yourself as you browse through the links below!
