The holiday season is upon us, and with that, ample time to make beautiful memories with your children. I love crafting with my daughter because only do we get to spend time in the moment, but we get to create something that we can always look back on with nostalgia.

1. Simple Christmas Tree
This design is so easy and is easy for little fingers and hands. You can help the kids glue their painted sticks together, and then give them some glue and buttons to decorate on their own. It’s a lightweight ornament that brings some wonderful color to your tree. It would be a great teacher or grand parent gift too!

3. Stable
The nativity scene is often center stage during the holidays, and you can incorporate it easily into your tree without having the full cast of characters. With a little cutting of your craft sticks you can fashion a simple stable to represent the reason for the season. It’s cute and looks just handmade enough that others will know you and your kids put it together.
