Elves need to have fun too! So, we've put together our first kids craft holiday guide - 5 Fun Projects for Your Little Elves. We've brought back a few of our favorite holiday kids crafts and created a new free countdown calendar!
All of our holiday crafts below are made with your little elves in mind. They do not require a lot of time or expensive supplies to complete. When making crafts with small kids, make sure they are under proper supervision when using small pieces or sharp tools like scissors.
#1. Santa Countdown Calendar - Free Printable! Add a cotton ball to Santa’s beard each day with Craft Glue Dots®. Whether you count up to day 25 or count down the days left until Christmas Day, this craft will delight anyone who enjoys the magic of Santa!

#2. Paint Chip Christmas Tree Ornaments - Paint chips never looked so festive! Designer Dawn shows you how to turn plain paint chips into cute ornaments - a perfect holiday craft for the kids. Just think of the fun color combinations they will think up for their trees!! All you need are Glue Dots, a little ribbon and embellishments. Click here for the supply list and instructions.
#3. Candy Cane Reindeer - This is by far one of our favorite and most popular kids craft on Pinterest. Rudolph and his friends never looks so cute and colorful! Grab a box or two of candy canes, small google eyes, Mini Glue Dots® and brown pipe cleaners to make reindeer candy canes! This is cute and simple craft for the kids and they can hand them out to family and friends. Learn how quick and easy they are to make. You can also pin it for later here.
#4. Rudolph Reindeer Treat Bag - When Santa’s Little Helpers deserve a little thank you, make an adorable reindeer treat bag (or lunch bag) with something extra special inside. You can use leftover pipe cleaners from the Candy Cane Reindeer project, a brown paper bag, Glue Dots and red glitter to make your little elf's day bright. All you need to do is check out the supply list and pick up any extra items you need.
#5. Paper Scrap Christmas Tree - Dig out those beloved paper scraps to create a Christmas tree decoration that’s simple to make! Get the kids involved too! Let them make their own Paper Scrap Christmas Tree for the home and put it on display. All you need are paper scraps and Glue Dots. Make one and share it with us on Instagram using @GlueDots.
