Christmas time is here friends! And I am so excited to share these Christmas handicrafts with you. Not only are they super easy crafts, they are unique and beautiful. You and your kiddos are sure to love them!
These crafts are part of my monthly handicraft plan. Each month, I send out a handicraft plan that includes four crafts for you to do throughout the month (one for each week!). It has a full supply list for the month and links to all of the craft instructions. It is geared for ages 4-8, but littles and older ones could definitely participate too!
The handicraft plan is full of crafts that are budget friendly, nature based, and will help teach your children hands on skills. I choose crafts that are not only fun, but also useful (and pretty).
You can sign up for the monthly handicraft plan here!

Our Christmas Favorites
There are so many traditions and activities surrounding Christmas. To be honest, most of it overwhelms me. But I’ve decided each year to just do the things that are most meaningful for our family. This year, we are doing the gifts of togetherness by Ralphie at Simply on Purpose. Each day, I hide a little piece of paper with an activity or craft on it for that day. The girls are loving this so far!
We are also celebrating Advent by reading scriptures each day, thanks (Vanilla Tulip Farmhouse!).
There are a few other activities I’m hoping to get to, like going to see Christmas lights and making hot chocolate, but we’re just taking it day by day over here. Ok, let’s get to the Christmas handicrafts!

This handicraft doubles as a decoration, which is always a win in my book!
