I don’t know about you but I loved the old school holiday crafts we used to make. No overpriced kit of crap that doesn’t stay together or resemble the package so you are left with a whiny kid, sticky hands, and random foam pieces in your hair.
That’s a no thanks from me. I’ll stick to construction paper, pipe cleaners, and paint brushes. If you are saying me too, you’re going to love this easy old school Christmas crafts and DIY Christmas ornaments to make with your kids!
