Christmas Crafts

Holidays in the classroom are always a whirlwind, but Christmas and winter break are a different breed! Between school-wide concerts, classroom parties, and squeezing in those last-minute lessons before everyone heads home for the holidays, we know teachers are running on festive fumes and counting down the days right alongside students!

That’s why this season is the perfect time to lean into joyful, hands-on learning that feels just as fun as it looks. Our Christmas Crafts bring creativity, engagement, and purpose to your December lesson plans with no-prep, developmentally appropriate craftivities that are ready the second you print them. Designed for preschool through second grade, these activities use simple classroom materials and thoughtfully blend creative expression with writing, storytelling, and skill-building!

Whether you’re planning holiday centers, classroom parties, bulletin board displays, or cozy winter afternoons, these Christmas crafts keep students engaged while strengthening fine motor skills, sequencing, comprehension, and written expression…all wrapped up in festive classroom goodness!

More Festive Classroom Crafts

Handprint Wreath Craft

Transform tiny hands into a heartwarming holiday display. Students trace, cut, and glue construction paper handprints onto a paper plate to form a cheerful wreath, complete with festive accents like peppermint details and bows. A meaningful keepsake that strengthens fine motor skills and adds a sentimental touch to your classroom decor.

Idea: Create one special “classroom wreath” using a handprint from every student and display it on your door or anywhere in your room! Have each student write their name or a meaningful message on their handprint to make it even more personal. It’s a beautiful way to build classroom community, celebrate individuality, and create a keepsake that represents your students all season long!
