Christmas Crafts for Kids
Paper Plate Holiday Wreaths
- by Rebecca Lanham
If children were asked to make a list of the top ten things they
like, you can bet that they would have “make things” (i.e. crafts)
and Christmas on that list. There is just something about creating
something from scratch that is your very own! Christmas time goes
without saying, as it offers children a festive celebration complete
with presents, decorations, cookies and togetherness.
That is what makes Christmas crafts so much fun for children – it
offers two of their favorite things in one activity! The younger the
child, the more simple the craft needs to be. The following paper
plate holiday craft can be done in a way a two year old will be able
to participate, while it can also be very detailed and challenging
for a middle school aged child.
Version to use with children between 2 and 4 years old
Version to use with children
between 5 and 7 years old
Version to use with children
between 8 and 12 years old
No matter the age of the child, making this paper plate wreath craft
will be a lot of fun!
Note: The pictures provided were created using the instructions for
5 to 7 year olds. One was created by a 4 year old, one by a 5 year
old. So, depending on the group, you can mix and match the materials
and instructions based on how many children and how many adult
“helpers” you have.
