Molly’s Guide to:
A Creative Christmas
We have put together two simple Christmas
craft ideas with help from The Old Station
Nursery in Lincoln. that can easily be done
with the children of all ages.
Festive Wreath
This wreath can be made from items foraged
from the garden, unwanted Christmas
decorations and wrapping accessories such as
bows and ribbon and a great way for your
children to be creative and create their
unique wreath.
You will need;
• Some card
• PVA Glue
• Paint and brushes
• Scissors
• Foliage from the garden
• Glitter
• Unwanted Christmas decorations
Use a dinner plate to trace a circle on the
card, find a tea plate to draw around for
the inner circle of the wreath and cut out.
Now simply allow the children to use their
imagination to create a wonderful festive
wreath with all the resources available
to them.
Handprint Christmas tree
This Christmas tree is made simply from
handprints and items found in your arts and
crafts drawer such as glitter and pom poms.
You will need;
• Coloured Card
• Green paint
• Paint brush
• PVA Glue
• Glitter
• Pom poms or other craft resources
To create the Christmas tree get your child to
paint their hand with the green paint. The
hand prints start at the top of the paper with
just one. On the next layer you place two
hand prints side by side and finally the third
layer has three hand prints side by side.
Once the Christmas tree has been created
the children should use their artistic skills to
decorate the tree with the glitter, pom poms
and other craft resources you have gathered.
