I’ve gathered a whole bunch of lovely Christmas crafts for toddlers so you can have some creative time with them and also make a keepsake or two for family or friends!
All of these craft ideas are pretty simple and only take a little time (well maybe some prep time for you) for toddler to make. Common sense applies, these are ideas and some of them use small objects which you should exchange with something larger if you need to.
