Christmas Sugar Cookies
Another one of my all time favorite Christmas cookies is sugar cookies. Here again a simple splattering of Christmas color sprinkles to make it look really cheerful. The good thing about decorating Christmas sugar cookies like this is the children can get in the action and have loads of fun! For the recipe just click on the link under the photo of these scrumptious sugar cookies!
Snowman Pretzel Sticks
These are just too cute and yummy to eat too! Children will love to dip this in white chocolate with adult supervision of course. It's called Sweet & Salty Snowmen and I found this at Taste of Home. Click the link below the photo for the recipe and instructions.
Christmas Peanut Butter Cookies
I really love the fancy Christmas cookies but my favorites are the simple ones like the photo before. I found this photo on Ken Pierpont's website. I remember, long ago, when I used to bake all the time, putting those criss crosses on the cookie with a fork. I used to make my cookies from scratch, none of this modern cookie mix in a kit stuff!
I Love the way, to make it festive, red and green sprinkles are used so we'll get the basic yumminess of a peanut butter cookie while it looks so Christmasy! There wasn't a recipe on Ken Pierpont's website so I got one on Food.com.
We have loads of peanut butter so I thought I'd put it to good use and go back to the good 'ole days and bake some batches of homemade, from scratch, peanut butter cookies.

Recycled Children's Christmas Craft: Christmas Goodie Bag
Children's Christmas Craft
Christmas Goodie Bags
I don't have a proper website to cite this. I found it on a website that did not cite where they go this from. It looks like it's either the small Pringles containers or a tin can. Ribbon is glued around and small tinsel garland lines the top. Fill it up with goodies and place in a cellophane bag. Tie off with curly ribbon and you've got a fun party favor for a Christmas party or to give to classmates.

If you're anything like my daughter and I you've already started talking about what kind of Christmas dinner you'd like to have this year. Well, for a few years now we've discussed having a seafood buffet (with some barbecued steak of course!) but haven't done it yet. Every year we go somewhere else for Christmas Eve and Christmas but this year we may just start a new tradition of staying home on Christmas Eve.

15 Christmas Crafts For Children
I Love making crafts with my grandchildren and before my children were all grown I Loved making Christmas crafts with them. Now my oldest daughter has 3 of her own children.
This is a collection of 15 Christmas Crafts that I'd like to make with my grandchildren.
1. Popsicle Stick Santa, Reindeer, and Snowman. Looks pretty easy to make. The site that had the tutorial is no longer up.
2. Hand shaped Reindeer ornaments. Very nice! You can also use ground cinnamon or cloves to coat the hand prints.
3. Keeping it nice and simple but loads of fun for my babies. I can just imagine them all excited as they ask me to hang it on the wall!!!
5. Here's a way to recycle your jugs. Make snowmen light up for the holidays with this almost no cost children's Christmas craft. Imagine their delight when they see their lighted snowmen lining a window or pathway outside.
10. Here's another Jesus in a Manger children's craft using paper plates and feathers. This time there's a site to go to although this craft is easy to figure out.

4. Recycling tissue paper rolls. Oh there's loads of stuff out there to recycle tissue paper rolls! I can't wait to post'em all!! But this one here will do for my grandchildren. There is no link for the link that I was sent to was not good so we'll just eyeball it and go from there! Luckily it's very simple, I just like to give credit where credit is due but not this time.

6. I haven't seen a pasta craft in ages! I'm so happy to have found this at Cutting Tiny Bites! You can also use rice for a craft like this.
7. What fun! Children decorating felt ginger bread men! You can use pompom balls, chenille sticks or you can use any kind of light beads like sequins to glue on. I Love felt ornaments!
8. Have some wire and pony beads? Stringing beads can help children with muscle coordination and dexterity. Children will be sure to have fun with this Christmas craft!
9. The reason for the Holiday Season is Jesus Christ and his birth. I can just see how great making this craft will be for children and all the stories to be told while crafting and drinking hot chocolate. Looks like maybe wood was used here but I'm sure it'll be alright to use card stock too. I'd Love to hang this on our Christmas tree!

11. We are on a roll!!! Here's a beautiful nativity ornament created with tissue paper. This one will require mom and/or dad's help.
13. Motherhood on a Dime has this easy tutorial to make this very cute Christmas craft. What a wonderful gift this would make for a special someone.
14. A favorite not just for children's Christmas crafting but for any crafting. Use cookie cutters, color with food coloring or paint after the ornament hardens. Either way your children are gonna love squishing the salt dough between their fingers and giving it shape.
15. How pretty is this? I know there's a craft using baked pony beads to make a suncatcher but this is also a neat way to make a stained glass looking Christmas ornament. Beautiful hanging by a window.
That sums up my 15 Christmas crafts that I'd like to do with my grandchildren. We'll see how many we do. It would be so awesome to decorate our Christmas tree with all the ornaments they make.
I'm sure I'll be creating more posts like this where I collect different things I like to do, cooking, baking, crafts and share with everyone!
