20 Stunning Snowflake Crafts for Kids
Celebrate winter with these stunning snowflake crafts for kids! Each one is more beautiful than the next, and there’s something for all ages!
It’s winter in the Northern Hemisphere of the planet, and some people were lucky enough to witness a white Christmas. I admit, I wasn’t among them, living in India, but how I wish I was!
There’s something magical about snow, and especially snowflakes. Maybe it’s the fact that they’re so perfectly symmetrical, or maybe that they’re so unique – it is said that no two snowflakes are alike. Or it simply may be the fact that they’re so delicate – it makes them all the more special.
Snowflakes have intrigued and inspired people for centuries, and people have done loads of research on them. Check out the work of Wilson Alwyn Bentley – he photographed thousands of snowflakes under the microscope and the result is gorgeous!
On that note, we’ve got something just as stunning for you today – snowflake crafts! Here is a collection of the most beautiful snowflake crafts that kids can make with simple materials and little effort. There’s something suitable for every age group here, so get ready to create some prettiness!

White Pipe Cleaner Christmas Tree Ornament Craft
Dreaming of a white Christmas? Make it come true with our White Pipe cleaner Christmas Tree Ornament Craft! Super easy to make with just a few supplies!
Even though I make most of the Christmas cards I send out to friends, I still love strolling through the cards on display at the store. Many of them have some of the most beautiful pictures, and my favorite are the winter scenes!
You know the ones I’m talking about, the quaint little village covered with snow, a snowman somewhere in the frame, and a red robin that stands out amidst all the white. The night versions are also just as pretty, with well lit Christmas trees glowing in the dark!
All this talk of snow and Christmas trees is really tickling my travel desires! Since it’s not really feasible to go to a snowy place this season, I’m creating one at home, with a White Pipe Cleaner Christmas Tree Ornament Craft. So every time I look at my tree and see this ornament, I’ll have a smile on my face!
Felt Angel Christmas Ornament Craft + Free Template
Add a heavenly touch to your Christmas decorations with this cute little Felt Angel Christmas Ornament. Make them in different colors to gift or keep!
“Angels are like diamonds. They can’t be made, you have to find them.”
When meeting certain people, have you ever felt like they couldn’t be from this world? Maybe it was that beautiful smile, or a face glowing with hope, but they make you feel like you’re with a celestial being – an angel!
Yes, I think we’ve all had experiences like that, as well as those of the opposing nature! Coming to Christmas, you can’t have it without angels. It is said that angels announced the birth of Christ, which is why Christmas trees are topped with either a star or an angel. And I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of the popular carol, “Hark, the Herald Angels Sing!”.
Well, we’re feeling all angelic today, and you’ll feel the same, when you see our cute little felt angel Christmas ornament craft! This is such a pretty ornament that you could show it to someone and they wouldn’t believe that you made it yourself!
Felt Elf Christmas Ornament Craft + Free Template
Elves don’t have to be on the shelf, they can be on the tree too! Check out our Felt Elf Christmas ornament that’s super cute and super easy to make!
When I was little, I wasn’t really aware of the Elf on the Shelf phenomenon. The only elves I had encountered were in books, where their main role was working in Santa’s toy factory at the North Pole. It was much later when Lord of the Rings changed my entire idea about elves!
Today, I’m going back to the elf of my childhood – the little guy dressed in green, with a green pointy hat and pointy ears – and he’s come alive in this felt Elf Christmas Ornament craft! So even if you have an elf on the shelf to keep an eye on things, it doesn’t hurt to have a cute one on your tree too!
DIY Felt Gingerbread House Christmas Ornament + Free Template
This cute felt gingerbread house ornament won’t wreck your diet, but it will sweeten your Christmas celebrations! Works well as a natural room freshener too!
When you think about Christmas decorations and food, you can’t help but bring up the Gingerbread man. And when you talk about the Gingerbread man, the Gingerbread house is bound to follow!
I absolutely love looking at the gingerbread houses that people make this time of the year – some of them are so creative! Did you know that there is a Guinness World Record for the largest gingerbread house ever made? People even make gingerbread castles and ships, with someone making an entire gingerbread village that included a train!
So we know that there’s no escaping gingerbread this season, and we aren’t even trying! In fact, we’ve already got a cute little Gingerbread man Christmas ornament ready to hang on the tree, and today we’re going to give him a home – a felt gingerbread house Christmas ornament!
Felt Gingerbread Man Christmas Ornament Craft + Free Template
This Felt Gingerbread Man Christmas Ornament is as cute a button and pretty simple to make! Hang it on your tree or gift it to a special friend!
“Run, run as fast as you can! You can’t catch me. I’m the Gingerbread Man!” Sounds like the gingerbread man is quite a cheeky character, challenging you to catch him although he knows you can’t!
Just like the holly wreath, poinsettias and reindeer, the gingerbread man has become a classic Christmas icon. You can find him on Christmas cards, wrapping paper, gift tags and of course, the bakery! You can run and run, but you can’t ignore this little guy!
Now, you can have him on your tree too, with our felt gingerbread man Christmas ornament craft! This is an easy craft made with felt and as cute as his multicolored buttons!
Easy Cardboard Roll Santa Claus Craft | Christmas Craft
This Cardboard Roll Santa Claus Christmas Ornament will look bright and cheery, hanging on your tree. It’ll also explain all those presents under the tree!
Right from the time I was a kid, my impression of Santa was this large-ish, roly poly man, who was very wise, but didn’t speak much. He had kind eyes and a comforting presence in general. I think this was the result of many Christmas stories I read at the time!
Fast forward to today’s celebrations and you have kids asking if there’s reception at the North Pole, so they can text Santa their list! Then you also have the smarty pants asking how Santa knows if you’ve been good or bad – does he have CCTV everywhere?
Okay, those are some difficult questions to answer!! So instead, let’s go ahead and do something simple – let’s make a cardboard roll Santa Claus Christmas Ornament! And I’m sure you’ll find that this little Santa also has a rather pleasing and gentle appearance!
