Amazing Christmas Crafts for Kids Fun: Easy Ornament Ideas

Sparkly Salt Dough Ornaments

Hey there, fellow crafters! Let's start with a classic – salt dough ornaments. These are super easy, even for little hands. You just mix flour, salt, and water, roll it out, use cookie cutters to make shapes (stars, trees, snowflakes – go wild!), bake 'em until they're hard as rocks, and then let the decorating begin! Think glitter glue, paint, sequins – the possibilities are endless. It’s like making edible cookies, but way more sparkly and way less tempting to eat! We’ve got tons of ideas on our site, so check out our DIY Christmas crafts for more inspiration.

Pretty Paper Plate Ornaments

Next up: paper plate ornaments! These are ridiculously simple and perfect for younger kids. You can transform plain paper plates into anything your imagination can conjure – Santa faces, snowmen, reindeer. Grab some paint, markers, glitter, and get creative! You can even cut out shapes and glue them on for extra flair. It’s like magic, but with way less smoke and mirrors. For extra festive ideas, take a peek at our Christmas paper crafts page.

Charming Cinnamon Stick Ornaments

Want something that smells amazing *and* looks festive? Try cinnamon stick ornaments! Tie cinnamon sticks together with string or ribbon to create stars, snowflakes, or even little Christmas trees. These smell incredibly Christmassy, and they're a beautiful, natural alternative to store-bought decorations. Plus, they’re super easy to hang on the tree. They're practically begging to be hung on your tree. If you need some more ideas for those super simple crafts, check out our article on easy Christmas crafts.
