Handprint Clay Ornament Craft

Just picture this. You and your little one, hands covered in soft clay. You’re both laughing as you roll out oval shapes, a little larger than your toddler’s tiny hand. This is where the magic begins.

Slowly, you guide their hand, pressing it into the clay, making sure each finger and the palm leave a distinct impression. It’s almost like capturing a moment in time. The joy on your child’s face is simply priceless!

This is not just an ornament making session. It’s a memory-making experience in the cozy warmth of your home. You’re creating a cherished keepsake that will remind you of your child’s first Christmas.

Then, you carefully poke a hole at the top and leave the clay to dry. It may take a few days, but patience is part of the lesson here. The excitement of flipping it every day, revealing the slowly hardening memory, is a treasured moment.

After the clay is dry, you can retrace the handprint with paint. This is entirely optional, but it adds a dramatic touch, making the handprint stand out more.

This craft is not only fun but also educational. Your little one will be learning about shapes, textures, and patience. They’ll be developing their fine motor skills, all while having a blast!

Easy Paper Strip Ornaments

Join me as we transform our old scrapbook paper into charming Christmas ornaments. We’ll be crafting paper strip ornaments that will add a sparkling joy to our Christmas tree. Plus, this is a wonderful way for you to bond with your little one this festive season.

We’re going to start by cutting our paper into strips using a paper trimmer or scissors. We’ll then create holes at both ends of the strips, stack them together, secure them using brad fasteners, and craft a lovely loop with twine or string.

But the real fun begins when we shape our strips into a ball, creating a splendid ornament. Trust me, your toddler will be giggling with delight as we create these ornaments together.

Apart from the joy and bonding, this craft activity will also help your little ones develop their fine motor skills and stimulate their creativity. It’s a fun-filled learning experience that you don’t want to miss.

So, let’s get crafting! The beauty of our Christmas tree is in our hands!

Folded Paper Tree

Create a festive holiday atmosphere with your toddler by crafting a folded paper Christmas tree. Start with four circles of varying sizes. Don’t fret if the circles aren’t perfect – you can always trim them later. You and your little one will love folding the circles, creating a beautiful cross pattern in the center.

Next, flip the folded circle and fold it again to create an “X” shape with a vertical line. Your toddler will be intrigued by the transformation of the paper into a unique triangle shape. Stack these shapes to create a charming paper Christmas tree.

To make a hanging decoration, thread some twine or yarn through a small hole in the center of each circle. Your toddler will enjoy this exercise, improving their fine motor skills in the process. Add some sparkle by decorating the paper circles with glitter or use patterned paper/cardstock for a more festive look.

This craft is not only a fun activity, but also a great learning opportunity for your toddler. They will learn about shapes, practice their folding skills, and unleash their creativity. Don’t miss the opportunity to make your Christmas decorations more special this year. Let’s get crafting!
