My kiddo who was anti-coloring for so long, now wants to color! And all of the time, too. So we made this fun little Christmas wreath craft together that is perfect for kids of all ages. Toddlers can scribble to their hearts’ content; preschoolers can carefully choose their colors for each pictures; and older kiddos can add glitter and sequins.
Craft Supplies Needed:
- white paper plate
- Christmas pictures template (free PDF)
- green paint — we used water colors
- glue stick
- scissors
- ribbon
- hole punch (optional)
How To:
1. Cut out the center of your paper plate to make your wreath.
2. Paint your wreath green. We used water color paints, but any green paint will work. I like to use Crayola Washable Paints, but we couldn’t find them in our messy craft cabinet (grrr), so we opted for water colors.
3. While your wreath is drying, print out the Christmas pictures template (free PDF) and color them.
4. Cut out your Christmas pictures. They were a little too complicated for my kiddo to cut out, so I did it. As you can see, I left a little bit of a white border around them.
5. Once your wreath is dry, arrange the pictures how you like them on your wreath and then glue them on.
6. Finish your preschool Christmas wreath craft by tying a ribbon on so that your kiddo can hang their project! I used a hole punch, but you can also just loop your ribbon through the wreath and hang it that way.
