| Hand print Christmas Trees = We made these in the 60′s! Easy and fun and the best part is decorating them! | Sponge Painted Holiday Decor – this is on paper, but get a white table cloth and decorate it for the kids’ table! |

We made these tissue paper Christmas Trees but rolling paper into a cone and taping it in place. Not as sturdy but cheap!  |

| Felt Gingerbread men – Simple sewing craft for older kids (make a mark with a pen to show them where to sew) or use glue for the very little. Decorate with felt, pompoms, and glitter. | Another oldie but goodie – I made this as a small child in the 60′s as well. Everything you need is at the drugstore. |

| Cheap foam “trees,” yarn, and decorations make these fun decorations! To skip the hot glue for the little ones, get ornaments with a loop and put them through the yarn before wrapping tightly to hold them in place. | Gingerbread tree ornaments – kids can help with the mixing, rolling and cutting out. Put a hole in before baking and tie with ribbon or fabric. Mmmm….smells divine! |

| I made these back in the day with my kids! Use cookie cutters to cut cardboard shapes (cereal boxes work well). Give them glue & pompom (glitter, too!) and when they’re finished add a look and/or ribbon and hang. | Draw a design on brown paper bags and let your little one color it in – punch holes, put your gift inside, tie a bow and give! So cute! |
