Children are innocent and they love the Christmas holidays very much, especially they like helping their parents decorate for Christmas. Children are fond of making their own handmade Christmas decorations, and there is a lot of exciting Christmas decorations that they can easily make.

For small children or those who may be making their own Christmas decorations for the first time, you can buy some ornament cutouts or guides shaped like star or cross from your local craft store, and then the child can paint according to these shapes. Besides this, Christmas ornaments can be made from regular paper or any other type of material.

For children of any age, it is very easy for your children to make their own Christmas paintings or drawings with the supplies found inside your home. Parents can put the paintings on your refrigerator or you could even frame the picture and hang it up somewhere else. Children can draw paintings on a large sheet of paper. After drawing, parents can use it as wrapping paper. This makes a double gift and a ideal way to save money.

Children will be excited if you use centerpiece for your dining room table. With artificial flowers, a large bowl or vase, some Christmas balls, as well as other decorative items, the children can create a somewhat elegant centerpiece. It is easy for them to arrange these items to create their own unique centerpieces for your dining room table. They may be able to create a centerpiece in the shape of an Angel, a Santa or a Christmas tree by using construction paper if your children are a little older.

Children will enjoy the experience no matter what kinds of Christmas decorations you allow your child or children to make, especially if you participate as well. For a child, the favorite thing they want to happen is seeing their Christmas drawings hanging on the walls or their Christmas ornaments hanging on the tree.

To make a popup Santa you will need – 2 loo-roll tubes. One needs to be slightly bigger than the other, so that one can easily slide up and down inside the other tube.

The larger tube is the chimney pot. Cover this tube in paper or paint to look like a chimney pot.

The smaller tube is Father Christmas. Stick on paper or paint this tube to look like Santa Claus. Give him a long white beard and a bright red coat.

Stick on a strip of red paper around the top of the tube so that the paper over hangs the tube. Scrunch the top edge of the paper to form Santa’s hat. Stick a cotton wool ball on the top to finish it off. The glue helps to keep the scrunched up edge nicely in place.

Cut out two thin strips of card. Stick them on the side of Santa to make his arms. The turn over you make to stick on the arms acts as a hinge later. Santa’s arms will pop out of the chimney as Santa appears.

When Santa is complete and the glue or paint is dry, cover Santa in sticky clear book protector or clear selotape. This reduces friction as Santa slips up and down inside the chimney.

Put Santa inside the chimney. Put your fingers up inside the chimney to mover Santa up and down so that he appears to POP out of the chimney.

Popup Santa is great for ‘doing’ the actions to the song ‘When Santa got stuck up the chimney’

When Santa got stuck up the chimney,

He began to shout,

“You girls and boys won’t get any toys,

If you don’t pull me out!

My beard is black,

There’s soot in my sack,

My nose is tickling too”

When Santa go stuck up the chimney,

Achoo Achoo Achoo!

There’s something inherently magical about the Christmas season. – We’re all more patient, more loving, and a bit more aware and thankful of all the blessings that we’re surrounded by. So it should really come as no surprise to anyone that the holiday season is the one where families and loved ones spend the most time together. With all the Christmas baking and decorating, this time spent together isn’t just for holiday parties! – There is something magical about growing up with wonderful holiday traditions, and so here we’re going to talk about five things you can do to not only boost your holiday spirit, but leave your child with some of the most amazing Christmas season memories.

1. Anyone who’s done Christmas shopping in the past is sure to have seen those small, 2-3 foot tall Christmas trees they sell. They’re cheap and small enough for easy storage, and a perfect way to spruce up a child’s room. Buy one for your kid, and spend some time finding ornaments and decorations that fit their interests together! Does your daughter love pink? Go out with her and look for some pretty pink ornaments and lights, or just buy up one of those pink trees! Or maybe your son loves football. – You’re sure to be able to find football ornaments! Decorating one of those mini trees with your kid is a great way to bond in the Christmas season.

2. Christmas cookies are probably one of the most common holiday traditions. – Who doesn’t bake up cookies to give away to friends and family? Inviting your kids to help you bake holiday treats is a great way to spend time together! You can also decorate some pretty tins with your child to put cookies into that they can give to teachers or friends! So get the Christmas music playing and start baking those treats!

3. Christmas crafts are another great thing to do with your children. – Making ornaments or holiday themed decorations to place around the house can be very fun and make all the things you decorate with all the more special. A day spent decorating your house not only makes the Christmas decorating easier on everyone, but a far more enjoyable experience than doing it alone.

4. A lesser-known tradition that my family loves is the gag gifts. My family is quite large, but it can be done with any number of people. Here’s how it works: soon after Thanksgiving, have everyone write their name on small pieces of paper. Jumble the names in a hat, and have everyone draw out a name, making sure that no one gets their own name. The name a person draws is the person they have to buy a goofy, funny, or embarrassing gag gift for. You can choose if everyone should know who has drawn whom, or if you want to keep it a secret until Christmas Eve, when the gifts are specially delivered and opened! It’s a lot of fun, and is a great activity that can have a lot of thought put into it!

5. Planning Christmas themed activity nights with your family is also a great way to bring everyone together. Whip up some hot chocolate, eggnog, or hot cider and some snacks, and pull up a collection of Christmas movies to watch. Or you could plan a Christmas carol karaoke night! There are plenty of fun things you can do with your family, and planning these little mini parties is a great way to bond and create some fun holiday memories.

It’s so unfortunate that many of us spend so much effort doing the things that create stress around the holidays, when with just a little bit of time and energy we can do the things that really make Christmas special and bring our families closer together. This is a time of loving, kindness, and fun. This season opens itself up for endless ways to enjoy it, and no matter what your interests are you can find a great activity that you enjoy. For children, these are some of the most magical, memorable moments they’ll ever remember, and all of these wonderful traditions will only make them that much more special.
