15 Christmas Card Ideas Kids Can Make

1. Snow globe card

The perfect gift for grandparents, this adorable snow globe card features a photo of your little one. Why not make one every year as a keepsake to record your child's growth?

2. Fingerprint Reindeer

Kids love getting mucky, especially when it’s alongside everyone else in the family. Set up a conveyor belt of fingerprinting and then transform each family member’s in to a unique reindeer.

We believe your little ones deserve the very best care. That's why our local network of sitters are personally checked and picked by our family for your family www.sitters.co.uk.

4. Hama Bead Presents

If you have children of primary school age (or older - you never grow out of Hama beads...!) you might well spend your life ironing Hama bead creations. Make it more worthwhile by including them on their Christmas cards this year!

7. Cotton Wool Pad Snowman

If you’re stuck for a last minute crafty Christmas card idea, raid your bathroom supplies to create this striking cotton wool pad creation.

9. Footprint Trees

These festive footprint trees are sure to become a treasured keepsake for years to come when your little one isn’t so little any more. Fun and simple, but do make sure you’ve got the bath run first!

10. Pasta Wreath

Cheap yet incredibly effective, paint some dried pasta bow ties and add a ribbon to make these pasta wreaths. If you’re feeling brave, let them sprinkle their creations with glitter to add some extra sparkle.

11. Cupcake Wrapper Trees

Another idea for parents and carers who aren’t so creative themselves. Simply get some bright and Christmassy cupcake wrappers and fold to different sizes.

12. Cupcake Wrapper Angels

Whilst you’ve got the cupcake wrapper idea in your mind, what about these friendly smiley angels? Your children will love giving each little face a different personality.

13. Ribbon Snowmen

Another easy idea which works well if you only have white card to hand is this ribbon snowman.

14. Pop Up Christmas Tree

One for slightly older children. Have a go at creating your very own pop up Christmas tree. Children will be amazed at how they can get this to work, and then decorate the tree as much as they like. A little trickier than our other suggestions, we recommend following this excellent tutorial to make it easier.

15. Handprint Santa

Lastly, grandparents and other family will cherish these Christmas keepsakes from when the children were young. They are one of the most ideal Christmas card ideas for kids to make if the children are very young, or you’re pushed for time.

We hope you have fun with these Christmas card ideas for kids to make. Pop on the Christmas tunes, get out the craft supplies, and get creative!
