These Christmas crafts for kids include Christmas ornaments and decorations that are easy to make at home.
15 Christmas Crafts for Kids - Keep your kids busy on Christmas break with these holiday craft projects. Many of them use basic items from around your home and are easy for kids to make. Several of these projects would make great preschool Christmas crafts or holiday party activities for kids.

It won’t be long before the kids will be out of school for Christmas break and we will be looking for things to keep them busy. I find that I can keep my son busy for hours creating arts and crafts. I am already collecting ideas and putting aside any items that can be upcycled into Christmas crafts for kids.

As much as possible, I like to use my kids’ Christmas art projects to help decorate the house. Whether you set aside one wall to hang all of their art or sprinkle it throughout the house, using your kids’ artwork to decorate your home is a great way to add a festive touch.

While I like to use recycled items as much as possible for our Christmas projects, I will confess to buying one kit each year: a Gingerbread House Kit. We have a tradition of making a gingerbread house on our first real snow day, so I always buy a few kits and set them aside for that snow day. It is the perfect way to keep them busy while they are waiting for the worst of the storm to pass so they can play outside. And if we get one of those gentle snow storms that they can play in right away, I can use the gingerbread house as a way to lure them in before they get frostbite.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
