Chances are, your kids are on Christmas break here soon – if you homeschool, you may even take a longer break this month to enjoy the holidays with your kids even more.
If you are crafty (or even if you aren’t!) there are SO many homemade Christmas ornaments you can tackle – whether with the kids or even just with family … … this might give you some fun ideas. If my kids had their choice, everything would be slime or glitter… and I’m not sure about you, but I’m not a fan of cleaning either from tables, countertops, shoes, clothes.. the list goes on. That stuff gets on everything and seems to linger around forever.
Making ornaments is one of my kid’s favorite things to do – they keep them year after year and put them on the tree. Every year when we pull the Christmas bin out, they remember making these ornaments from the years prior and it sparks memories… some good, some not so good (in the case of LEGO ornaments, they remember their baby sister taking off with the pieces and flushing them down the toilet!)
So yes, some not so good! Especially when LEGOS are prized!
We rounded up over 60 DIY Holiday Ornaments that you can make with your kids over the next week – we have upcycled ornaments, candy cane ornaments, even melted crayon ornaments – I’m completely certain we have at least a few that you try out with the kids.

We made Christmas ornaments the other night, the boys had so much fun making them for their Mom-Mom’s & Pop-Pop. They came out so cute.
