27 of our favorite kid friendly craft ideas
Every year, we pull out our Craft Cubby Advent, a little DIY project made completely from recycled food boxes, and fill it one day at a time. Nothing prepped weeks in advance, nothing overwhelming. Just one small moment added to the cubby each morning. Some days it’s a tiny craft idea. Other days it’s a prompt like “watch a Christmas movie,” “drive around to see lights,” or “make hot cocoa.”
It keeps December fun without turning it into a second job. The boys never know what’s coming, and I love that it gives us permission to slow down and choose something simple instead of trying to plan the entire month in one go.
Since we’ve made so many Christmas crafts over the years, I pulled together 27 of our favorite kid friendly ideas that are quick, cute, and use what you already have at home. These aren’t complicated projects. They’re memory makers disguised as crafts.… just little things that turn an ordinary Tuesday in December into something cozy and intentional.
You can sprinkle these ideas into your own Craft Cubby Advent or save them for a quiet afternoon. Either way, they keep the season magical without overwhelming you, and that’s the whole point.
