Holiday parties present the opportunity for children to create family traditions, foster friendships, and inspire creativity. Too often; however, we get trapped in a routine about mulling through the same standard Santa activities year after year. Luckily, we at Creativity for Kids are the experts of creative crafts that are not only fun and unique but will nurture creative confidence. Here are holiday party children’s crafts that break the mold on traditional celebrations and will inspire your children this holiday season.

The recipes are written, ingredients are purchased, gifts are wrapped, and the guest list includes all your favorite people, yet you have that nagging feeling that something for your holiday party is still missing. Holiday hosting as an artist isn’t complete without a personally crafted touch. Get your creative juices flowing and deck the halls with these Christmas party holiday hosting crafts that are sure to make your party one that will be cherished for years to come. 

These pinecone turkeys are a fun and easy way to teach simple tracing, cutting and gluing skills, while discussing the importance of Thanksgiving – it’s so much more than mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie (although those are yummy and important too.)

This is a wonderful family Christmas craft where everyone can participate in creating an heirloom decoration that will be cherished for years to come. Just gather all your materials and everyone can make one house and when you put them all together you have a village! If you have a Xacto™ knife or another cutting tool you can make the full light-up version as shown above, or we also provide a no-light version that is quicker and easier and only requires scissors, no knife.

Back to school is a bittersweet time- the end of summer but the start of a new school year. Pick yourself up by making this “Tie-Dye” style notebook. What makes it great is that you don’t really need tie-dyeing supplies- and we avoid the mess by using tissue paper and shelf liner!

It’s back to school season! 😱 While everyone is prepping with fresh supplies, backpacks, and new kicks, I’m over here trying to remind my preschooler how to write her name with something other than sidewalk chalk. This paper plate pizza craft is a fun and easy way to brush up on a few basic motor skills.
