Spread love this holiday season with a handmade card, chosen from our list of simple and sweet DIY Christmas Card Ideas for Kids.

“A little smile, a word of cheer, A bit of love from someone near”. That seems like the perfect way to describe a Christmas card!! When you want to show your love and appreciation, and you don’t want to go the commercial route, a handmade card is your best option!

The first Christmas Cards were sent in 1843, and they were carefully made one by one, due to which they were expensive and could only be afforded by the rich. However, when they started getting mass-produced, it became so popular that now it’s an integral part of Christmas celebrations, just like the tree and wreath!

Of course, these days you can just send an e-card and be done with it, but where’s the fun in that? If you ask me, it feels a bit impersonal too! A digital card simply cannot evoke the same emotions in that quote we mentioned above. For that, nothing can beat a handmade card!

So here are 20 simple and sweet DIY Christmas Card Ideas that kids can make, with a little help from Mom or Dad. Most of these require very basic supplies and just a little time, and we even have some last minute ideas. So now, there’s no excuse not to make a handmade card this Christmas!

20 SIMPLE AND SWEET DIY CHRISTMAS CARD IDEAS FOR KIDS 8

1. Easy Holiday Cards

Spread love this holiday season with a handmade card, chosen from our list of simple and sweet DIY Christmas Card Ideas for Kids.

Recreate quaint snowy village scenes with this lovely card idea from Krokotak. The actual technique is pretty simple and straight forward, but there’s still a lot of scope for customization. Make a full set of these to give out to all your family and friends – they’ll love displaying it in their homes!

2. DIY Snowflake Lacing Cards

These DIY Snowflake Lacing Cards are the perfect way to give your loved ones a festive greeting, not to mention a good way to strengthen sewing skills!

I personally love cards with multiple textures, like this snowflake lacing card that uses yarn, fabric and of course, card stock. Go with different color combinations of fabric and card to get some really pretty cards. Also a great fine motor activity for little kids!

3. Handprint Reindeer Card

Spread love this holiday season with a handmade card, chosen from our list of simple and sweet DIY Christmas Card Ideas for Kids.

If you’ve got good quality card stock, please do make this fun handprint reindeer card from The Best Ideas for Kids! Including the light bulbs makes it so festive, and the pom pom and googly eyes makes this one cute reindeer!

4. Handmade Christmas Tree Card

Spread love this holiday season with a handmade card, chosen from our list of simple and sweet DIY Christmas Card Ideas for Kids.

This project from HGTV shows us what amazing things a little double sided tape can do! Yes, that is the trick behind these 3D Christmas Trees that look so smart with their little ribbons and minimalistic design!

5. Snowman Christmas Card – christmas card idea for preschoolers

Make your own Snowman Card for Christmas

Doesn’t matter if it snows in your place or not – a snowman is a must have for Christmas! And if you can’t make one with real snow, make one with paint, on a Christmas card. When it looks as happy as this one, it’s perfect to spread the cheer around!

6. Fingerprint Christmas Lights Card – Christmas card idea for preschool

Spread love this holiday season with a handmade card, chosen from our list of simple and sweet DIY Christmas Card Ideas for Kids.

Here’s a project from Crafty Morning that requires all of two steps. One, where you use a sharpie to draw in the lines, and two, where the kids take over and do the rest! Lay the paint pots out and let those little fingers and thumbs do their part in creating a cute little Christmas lights card.

7. Handprint Christmas Tree Card – Toddler Keepsake cards 

Spread love this holiday season with a handmade card, chosen from our list of simple and sweet DIY Christmas Card Ideas for Kids.

Handprint cards are an easy option even for little kids, and this one from Blitsy is ridiculously easy to make! Once you’ve got the tree and the trunk, just go crazy with jewels and embellishments for a tree that sparkles all over! You can also try sequins or tiny pom poms if you want it a little less blingy.

8. Deck the Halls Button Card

Spread love this holiday season with a handmade card, chosen from our list of simple and sweet DIY Christmas Card Ideas for Kids.

This DIY card from Michelle Philippi does not have much in the way of instructions, but it’s so easy you don’t really need them. Draw the strings and then stick on any buttons of your choice. I’d say this is a great way to finish up mismatched buttons that are lying around!

9. 3 D Christmas Tree Pop Up Card

Accordion Christmas Tree Pop up Card 17

This is a Christmas Card that is sure to make the recipient smile. When he opens it, out pops a 3 D Christmas tree, surrounded by brightly colored presents! And with little snowflakes all over, this is Christmas inside a pop-up card!

10. Mickey Mouse Snowmen Cards

11. Season’s Tweetings Card

Spread love this holiday season with a handmade card, chosen from our list of simple and sweet DIY Christmas Card Ideas for Kids.

I can’t get over how easy and adorable this card is!! Kristina Werner uses paint to make the little birds, but you can try it with fingerprints or thumbprints. Can’t think of a cuter card to give Grandma or Grandpa!

12. DIY Silhouette Christmas Cards – toddler Christmas card ideas

Spread love this holiday season with a handmade card, chosen from our list of simple and sweet DIY Christmas Card Ideas for Kids.

If you’re looking for something a little edgier this holiday season, try these silhouette cards from Easy Peasy and Fun. Use colored markers or watercolors to get that lovely effect, which really stands out among all the black. Go for simple outlines so cutting is not too difficult or messy.

13. Easy Christmas Tree Lacing Card – Lacing card for Preschoolers

You've decorated trees before, but how about decorating a card with a Christmas tree? Yes, that's what we're doing in our Easy Christmas Tree Lacing Cards!

Here’s another card idea to try in black. To make it really impressive, go with neon colored laces and paints. Want to go a step further? Try glow-in-the-dark paints so that your card lights up even when the lights go off!

14. Quick and Easy Snowman Card

Cute as a Fox has a clever idea for a Christmas card, which could be a melting snowman or simply a snowman who’s looking up at the falling snow. Whatever it is, those black rhinestones really glam it up, while the multicolored ribbon keeps it from being too dull.

      Hi Nana,
      I’m so sorry you had to face this. Can you please share a screenshot of the ad? And where do you see it?
      The problem is ads are customized per visitor and I can then share the screenshot with my ad agency.
      Thanks again for your patience

    I tried to download your Free Christmas Printable pack on Gumroad but the file would not download. I don’t have problems downloading from other sites and I can’t figure out what I am doing wrong.
    Is there some suggestions that you can give me for downloading this file
