Christmas Crafts for Kids: Make 12 Days of Christmas Decoration

Christmas crafts for kids are a fun way to spend time together and extend the fun of the holidays.

This holiday craft helps extend the day of Christmas into 12 days of fun for our family. And among all of the Christmas crafts for kids we’ve tried, it’s definitely a craft we can do together in just one afternoon.

To make this 12 Days of Christmas craft, we used 12 mini buckets, glue, ribbon, glitter, and chalkboard spray paint.

The first step is painting the buckets. If your kids want to be involved in painting, a better choice would be using arts and crafts paint.

I removed the handles from each bucket before painting, so we could paint the handles in a different color.

After the paint dried, we applied glue to the top portion of the bucket and dipped each one into glitter.

We labeled each bucket with chalk, and hung them in a row with red ribbon.

The last part is the best part. Put little presents or notes into each bucket, so your family has a little surprise throughout the holiday.

With different embellishments, this craft project can be perfect for a birthday party or other holiday, too.

Enjoy your Christmas crafts for kids this holiday season.
