Garden of Moments: Home made Christmas crafts to do with your kids

If you love your kids and partner more than anything in the world, and you love nothing more than spending quality time with them, whether it's going to the park or doing fun indoor activities together, then you sound just like me.

If you love doing arts and crafts with your kids then you've defiantly come to the right place, because this blog post will show you some fun Christmas-themed, kid-friendly crafts. Doing these arty activities together helps you bond with your kids - much more so than giving them the materials and leaving them to make the crafts while you go off and play some Cheekybingo or do the housework. Doing crafts together is the perfect way to bond and work as a team.

?Christmas cookie tree decorations

Begin by making a batch of your favorite flavored cookies. Try and make them as round as possible because you are now going to decorate them to make them look like Christmas baubles. Once they have cooled, carefully pierce a skewer through the top and thread a thin ribbon through the hole. Tie the two ends together. Let the kids have fun coating the cookies in colorful frosting. Then give them some silver edible balls to add the finishing touch.

?Home made Christmas cards

Nothing beats the sentimental value of receiving home made Christmas cards from the kids. Start by buying a pack of multi-colored pieces of A5 sized card and fold them in half. Then get creative and decorate your cards with ribbons, colored markers and sequins. Why not give your kids some cotton wool and help them make a fluffy beard for Santa or even a snowman?

?Make a robin felt toy

?Using some brown felt, cut out 2 robin body shapes, then cut out a circle using red felt for the robin's tummy. Stitch the two robin shapes together leaving a small gap for stuffing. Then glue the red tummy onto the robin. Next, cut out two feet from yellow felt and sandwich them between the two bodies so they stick out from the bottom of the robin. Glue on some jiggly eyes and a beak then stuff the robin with some cotton wool, or even sweets and place him under the tree.
