Irrespective of whether you are buying our children’s Christmas craft kits or designing your own crafts, you are likely to need additional Christmas craft supplies, maybe even just glue or scissors. We have included below some ideas and links to our shop to guide you on the things you may need.

Beads are great for children’s Christmas crafts – especially when they are in Christmas colours or metallic colours.
Bells – jingle bells have so many uses in kids Christmas craft activities, especially on hats and decorations.
Feathers are popular for many children’s crafts but feathers in Christmas colours make a great addition to a festive craft box.
Felt sheets can be used for stockings and decorations, as well as being cut into shapes and used as embellishments on other Christmas craft projects/
Foam shapes are supplied as foam bases (which are large shapes you use as a base for craft projects), self adhesive foam shapes (i.e. peel and stick) or standard shapes. Whichever you are looking for, we have a great range in our Christmas craft shop.
Foam sheets – available in A4 sheets, A3 sheets, glitter, plain, patterned and sticky backed foam.
Glitter – what can we say? An absolute kids Christmas craft essential.
Glitter glue – as with glitter, this is a Christmas craft essential for kids but with less mess than glitter!
Jewels and gems – ideal for adding a bit of “bling” to kids Christmas craft projects.

Pipe cleaners, available in tinsel, red, green and white colours – great for Christmas crafts.
Pom poms – all sizes and all Christmas colours – we sell a fantastic range of children’s craft pom poms.
Ribbons can be used as embellishments, as bows or as a hanging thread for Christmas decorations etc.
Sequins – these are a perennial favourite for children’s Christmas crafts – available in many styles, sizes and colours.

Our range of these Christmas crafty bug craft kits include:

These are ideal for kids to make as an extra craft at a craft party, or for kids to make two or three bugs for a Christmas craft making session.

Buying Christmas Crafts for Children’s Groups

Many children’s Christmas craft sessions are run for groups, such as brownies, guides, cubs, preschools, after school clubs etc.

Therefore, to make browsing for group Christmas craft kits easier for you, we have sorted our group craft kits into the various group sizes within our shop.

Gingerbread man bookmarks - crafts for Children’s Groups

If you are catering for a group of 24 kids, for example, you would have a wider choice if you also consider buying four packs of 6 kits. Not all of our crafts are available in all pack sizes as some appeal more to smaller groups and others to larger groups or home crafters.

Christmas Reindeer Crafts for Kids

When making your Christmas reindeer crafts don’t forget your antlers! We sell a great range of pipe cleaners that are perfect for reindeer antlers, including both gold and brown.

The brown pipe cleaners are also available in a skinny version, which are great for making little reindeer craft projects where the standard ones would be too chunky.

Don’t forget your Rudolph pom pom noses, we sell an exceptional range of red pom poms from a micro size up to our exclusive jumbo 70mm size. Perfect for Rudolphs of all sizes!

To complete your craft you may also need beige pom poms and googly eyes, all are available in our shop.

Jingle bells are also extremely popular for Christmas craft projects and are great on reindeer crafts.

Of course, you may prefer to use one of our ready made crafty bug kits to make your reindeer. Why not have a look at our full range of reindeer themed Christmas crafts?

Reindeer Food Parcels Children's Craft Idea

Most kids love the crafty build up to Christmas, often more than the day itself! Part of this build up is the preparation for Christmas Eve and the arrival of Father Christmas and Rudolph.

Why not take a look at our children’s Christmas reindeer food parcel craft idea. You can vary this in many different ways, we have given you some craft inspiration on our Reindeer craft ideas page dedicated to this but we are sure you will have many more!

Great for a group kids craft session, home craft or children's Christmas crafty party idea. Of course, you could make these in advance as an alternative to party bags or to give as little Christmas gifts.

We have also included a story to use with these, please feel free to copy this story for your own kids Christmas craft uses and also to adapt this as you see fit.

Thrifty Christmas Card Making for Children

It’s easy to buy card kits or supply kids with colour in cards but why not make your own thrifty card making set for kids?

If you have saved old Christmas cards, they can very easily by used as the basis to make new cards, as our picture here shows. Clearly the end results will vary widely depending on crafters age and ability but you are sure to get some very unique results.

You could just use your old cards, card blanks and craft supplies you already have in stock. Make sure you include glitter glue, ribbons and jewels though.

Both standard children’s scissors and pattern cut scissors for kids are great for this activity, where the crafters are too young to use a knife and cutting mat.

Why not look at our information page on thrifty Christmas card making for some more ideas?

Quiet Christmas Crafts for Kids

There are lots of times over the Christmas holidays when a quiet and tidy children’s craft may be appropriate. Perhaps when visiting family, as a Sunday school craft or waiting for a meal in a restaurant.

Our range of children’s Christmas craft stickers and door hangers are great for this – the combination of the two, perhaps with some felt tips or gel pens, make a great craft activity without glue and without mess.

Our nativity crafts stickers are particularly popular for this, making a children’s craft activity into something which can be used to remember the real meaning of Christmas too.

Why not look at our information page on quiet kids crafts for Christmas for some more ideas?
