Decorating the house for the holidays is something of a family tradition for us. We usually put up our tree and all our decorations the day after Thanksgiving. My kids love to help with putting the ornaments on the tree. And the most special ornaments are ones they have made in years past.

In this post I’m sharing 30 simple and beautiful Christmas ornaments that kids can make this holiday season.

Note: For more Christmas activities your kids will love, see my Christmas Activities for Kids page.

Looking for more Christmas ornament ideas?

Maggy Woodley, the creative force behind Red Ted Art, has put together a fun Christmas ornaments ebook.

30 Festive Ideas Christmas Ornaments book

I have had a chance to take a sneak peak at this book, and here are some of my thoughts:

  • I love how the ornaments are divided into three sections based age: preschoolers, school age children, and older children
  • The majority of the crafts use inexpensive materials; many use every day items you probably already have on hand
  • The layout of the book has each project on just one page, making it easy to print the directions for kids to use in a classroom
  • Some of these ornaments would be perfect to make for a Christmas Craft Fair fundraiser (like the light up snowman ornament or the straw stars)
  • I adore the edible ornament ideas. Kids will go crazy for them!

These projects have been “tried and tested,” and are some of the most popular ornaments at Red Ted Art.

The 35 page PDF can be purchased for just $7.99. So grab your copy from Red Ted Art today!
