Toddler Craft: Super Simple Christmas Cards

Toddler Craft: Super Simple Christmas Cards

This craft is great fun with toddlers and it is so simple to do.

The boy, having overcome his initial fear, is still loving to paint and his favourite painty tool is cotton wool balls.

We recently made these super cute Halloween Monster Cards and I thought perhaps it was time we thought about Christmas.  I know, I know, I literally start the countdown in October!

So, we decided to make some Christmas Cards and discovered cotton wool was perfect for splodging out some Christmas trees!

Simply splodge out your tree shape with some green paint on a white card.

Next add some adhesive gems for Christmas tree baubles and lights, not forgetting a star for the top.

Finally I drew in a pot.

Ta da!

Super simple homemade Christmas cards that I am sure the grandparents will love to receive as much as the kids will love to make.

    What is this ‘adhesive’ word you are using so flippantly? It sounds rather vulgar and American to my British sensibilities.

    Nifty cards though.

      Apologies, ‘sticky-back gems’ ;). We can send you one if you like!

    These look great and so effective, I like we might add stickers instead of gems

    These are lovely and, frankly, not just for toddlers! I might have a go at doing them myself! Thanks so much for popping them onto Festive Friday, they are a beautiful addition!

    By cotton wool balls you mean little balls of cotton, right? You don’t mean cotton wool dryer balls that go in 5he dryer? Just want to get the proper thing. Thank you

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
