I have a super duper simple and last minute Christmas Card Craft for you today. And one that very young children can help with too!!!! We made them, as Pip Squeak, watched me assemble our Teacher Appreciation Card and wanted to colour in some “baubles” too. So I drew some rough circles and let her have a go. Red Ted did some more too, but we haven’t finished his cards yet. I will have to add them at a later date. (If you want another Chirstmas Card idea, check out our Gingerbread Men too).
Materials: paper, scissors, card stock, pens, glue – optional – glitter glue or ribbon “for hanging”
1) Get your children to colour in some circles (here is a printable of different sizes for you). You can colour, stick, paint, draw, do whatever you like!! Just have fun
2) Cut your circles out and stick tem on your card
3) Add detail in glitter or with a ribbon to represent the baubles “hanging”.
Job done. So simple and I think they look really cute? Pip Squeak LOVED making these.
Check out our Gingerbread Cards for more ideas:

I hope my activity is ok because I didn’t do it with my children but you could so easily.
It’s my first post in my new location too. Feel free to delete it if it breaks any rules.
And Merry Christmas xx

December 19, 2012 at 8:02 pmI always love a nice and simple craft for the little ones. Sometimes I get carried away thinking up crafts we could try only to realise that my idea of a fun craft is not always the same as my two-year olds!
Joining your link party!
