Not only you get to spend quality time with your kids doing Christmas ornament crafts but also you are building fantastic memories that will last lifelong.

To make this year extra special, I have decided to DIY Christmas ornament for kids starting from December 1st. One each day until Christmas! I know its big commitment, but this year I am determined to do it with both of my kids.

It is important to let our kids know that Christmas is more than just getting gifts. It’s about the act of giving, spending quality time with loved ones and being kind to one another. Christmas season is a great time to remind ourselves about these attributes and to live by it year around.

Because of these reasons, i have decided to make Christmas ornaments with kids this year. I have started compiling ideas for homemade Christmas ornaments for kids from wonderful crafty/innovative bloggers out there. I like to thank all of them whose craft ideas I have incorporated here as well as those who didn’t make it to the list, for coming up with these great ideas and sharing it with rest of the world.
