Something that is fun for bigger kids (not sure how old yours are) is to make beaded baubles. You buy foam balls in various shapes & stick in pearl headed pins threaded with one or two beads or sequins. You then make a loop of ribbon & attach it on to hang from the tree. You can also spray paint or put glitter on the foam balls to for a different effect. We also made a Christmas tree one with a foam cone.

Then there's the good old pine cones sprayed with gold or silver paint.

We make lolly wreaths as well. You undo a wire coathanger & make it into a circle shape then thread on wrapped lollies, close up the coathanger the tie a ribbon near the hanging part. Depending on what theme you want to do, we have done minties (tradiditonal red, green & white), columbines (pink & blue) or fantales (but they tend to melt!). It usually takes around 1.5 - 2 packets to completely cover the coathanger.

One craft we used to love at school was pin pr.ick pictures. Get some basic images of the net, print them out & then get the kids to make pin pr.icks around the outline. You then hang them on the window & the sun shines through the holes. The best images are basic angels & Christmas trees.

Cut out shapes with cardboard & stick foil & glitter on them. Or cut out shapes with contact & put coloured celepane on it to make stained glass windows.

I have lots more if you want! Mine are mostly child friendly
