This is also an activity that requires almost no preparation, so it is perfect as a Christmas craft for preschoolers. Provide your child with a variety of filling materials and plastic ornaments and let them create their own unique ornaments.

Combine this ornament with one of these homemade Christmas cards and you have a great Christmas gift for kids.

Easy DIY Christmas Decorations

What you need:

  • refillable plastic ornaments
  • pompoms or other filling material
  • ribbon

Step by step instructions

We made the ornament using green and red “sparkly” pompoms, a classic Christmas color combination.

Unfold the plastic globe ornament. If working in a classroom, give the child just the globe, keeping the top part.

Ask children to fill their ornaments with pompoms or other materials. Buttons, scraps of ribbon, and tissue paper are all good options.

When they are done, have them bring the decorations over so you can put the hat on.

Tie a ribbon to the top and the ornament is ready to hang.

You see, this sentence is really easy.
