Sparkling Easy Christmas Crafts for Kids

Festive Paper Plate Snowflakes

Hey there, fellow crafters! Let's talk about snowflakes. Not the kind that fall from the sky and melt on your tongue (though those are pretty cool too!), but the kind you make from paper plates! It's super easy. Grab some paper plates – the bigger, the better! – and some scissors. Fold the plate in half, then in half again, and then in half *again*. See how it's getting smaller and smaller? Now, cut out some fun shapes from the edges. Don't be afraid to get creative! Triangles, circles, zigzags – whatever you like! Unfold it, and *voila*! You've got a super festive snowflake! You can use glitter glue or paint to make them even fancier. Check out our Christmas paper crafts page for more inspiration – you might find some cool ideas there!

Adorable Pom-Pom Reindeer

Okay, next up: pom-pom reindeer! These are ridiculously cute and surprisingly simple. You'll need some fluffy pom-poms (brown ones are best, but get creative!), googly eyes, mini brown pipe cleaners, and a little glue. Glue the googly eyes onto the pom-poms. Then, carefully bend the pipe cleaners into little antlers and stick them on top. It's like making tiny, fluffy reindeer friends! These would look amazing hanging on your tree or even as ornaments on a garland. Want more ideas for easy decorations? Check out our homemade Christmas decorations section for more inspiration.
