Here are some of the ideas you can follow to make these lovely masterpieces. Ask your kid which one he/she would like to make, is it a Christmas tree, or reindeer, or Santa, or all of them 🙂
You will need:

2. DIY Christmas Tree Ornaments
Making Christmas ornaments has been some kind of tradition. Your kids will enjoy making new ornaments for a Christmas tree. If you are not a fan of kid’s ornaments on your elegant tree, you can always get a new one just for the kids and place it either in the living room or in their room. Every year you can store them in a special boy, and one day, when they grow up you can show them or give it to your grandchildren.
