Karla and Sam from @unlock.fun, a nature-inspired children’s craft Instagram account, have put together a few ideas to get the kids involved in all the Christmas preparation this year at a very low cost.
These activities are all very easy to do with kids of all ages. These simple ideas will get you into the festive mood and are a great excuse to get outside to gather your nature supplies.
Toilet roll reindeer
To make this reindeer all you need is a toilet roll, a pen, a pom-pom, googly eyes and some antler-looking sticks.
Star tree topper
This lovely tree topper was made by sticking a cardboard star to a previously painted toilet roll. We then added some sticks and we think it’ll look lovely at the top of any Christmas tree!
Eco gift labels
Gather some pretty leaves, let them dry inside a book for a few days and that’s it! You have the prettiest eco-labels ready to be decorated and written on.
Wrapping paper
Why don’t you make your own wrapping paper by making a cute little reindeer stamp? We used a folded piece of cardboard for the head. The nose is a red fingerprint and the antlers were drawn with an oil-based pen.
We hope you enjoy!
