The air is filled with the aroma of festivities and celebrations. With just a few weeks left for the holiday, I am now knee deep into all the fun, spirits, and cheerfulness the festival brings in. We start celebrating the holidays even before it arrives. With the school breaks coming up, I always ensure I am prepared to engage my daughters with some fun and crafty ideas. I always keep searching for various Christmas crafts that are pretty simple, but can keep the little ones glued for a long time.
My daughters share a good age difference of 6 years which actually makes my searching process a little tedious. I have to dig out DIY Christmas craft ideas that suits both their requirements. And, in the process, I had collected quite a good collection of various Christmas ornaments, crafts, and handmade gifts that all the little angels could try.
Don’t be impatient. Let’s get started right away!
