Making Christmas ornament crafts is a fun and easy way to get kids excited about the holidays. Preschool and grade school age children can easily make snowflake ornaments for their Christmas trees using popsicle sticks and glue. Kids can make the snowflake ornament craft with minimal adult assistance so it a good activity for children who are bored or like to do things all by themselves.
Homemade snowflake ornament materials:
- Popsicle or craft sticks
- Glue
- Paint and brushes
- Ribbon Glitter, buttons, jewels, stickers
How to make popsicle stick snowflake ornaments:
- The kids paint the popsicle sticks and let dry.
- The popsicle sticks are then stacked in the shape of a snowflake and glued together in the middle.
- When the glue has dried the children can use glitter, glues, and small stickers to decorate the snowflake.
- An adult uses sharp scissors to cut small strips of thin ribbon and helps the kids glue it onto one of the popsicle sticks.
- When the glue is dry the snowflake can be hung from the Christmas tree or used as a winter decoration in windows or on a bulletin board.
