Children have some extra time over Christmas break and most of them enjoy doing crafts. Some fun crafts during Christmas break are to make reindeer out of popsicle sticks or use cotton balls to make Santa's beard.
Choices for Christmas crafts are endless. Some good ones that you can make with very little investment are: ornaments made from scraps from sewing or other things found around the house, crafts from kits that can be bought at craft stores, chains made from construction paper that can be put on the Christmas tree or stung from the ceiling, popcorn strung on a string that can be put on the Christmas tree, and many more.
Other ideas are: painting a house or other building that you can purchase at a craft store (great for those who have Christmas villages), woodworking items, ceramic items, knitting and crochet items (hats are easy to crochet and afghans are easy to knit), Christmas wreaths made from pine branches and decorated with Christmas items (live branches will dry out, but artificial branches can be used), buying a craft kit and making the item, etc.
