The days are heating up, there’s a touch of magic in the air, and Santa is pulling on his board shorts and flip flops. Get ready for another festive summer Down Under with our range of Christmas art and craft supplies.
Christmas is a time of fun, family, prezzies, and delicious food, but it’s also a time of magic and creativity. Whether you’re looking for some fun Christmas craft activities for the kids, or you’re decorating your home in preparation for the holidays, here are some suggestions for how you can get into the Christmas spirit this silly season.
Here at Riot Art & Craft, we believe that there’s no better time to inspire your child’s creativity than Christmas. And the good news is, with so many Christmas art and craft activities available for kids, you’re sure to find something your children will love.
Here are some suggestions for how you can help your kids celebrate Christmas this year.
Encouraging your children to get creative with some fun Christmas crafts is a great way of getting them pumped for the holidays.
If your child is interested in drawing, they might want to try colouring in a wooden Christmas cut-out, placemat, or ornaments. If they’re more interested in painting, there’s plenty of fun to be had in painting up some hanging plaster decorations, their own hand-painted Christmas plate, plywood reindeer stickers, or even a light up star to brighten up Christmas day.
More patient kids who are good with their hands may enjoy constructing some Christmas origami, or creating their own Melty Bead Santa.
Kids love getting involved in the Christmas preparations, and there are so many wonderful Christmas craft activities that allow them to add their own personal touch to your home:
Puppet shows are a great way of encouraging your children to improvise, play, and imagine. With nothing more than a sheet, some puppets, and a little bit of creativity, your kids will be able to make all kinds of worlds and scenarios to entertain the family at Christmas.
They can even draw their own people or animals and stick them to popsicle sticks to expand their cast of Christmas characters.
Nothing says ‘I love you’ quite like a personalised, DIY Christmas gift. If your kids are struggling to come up with a gift for a friend or family member this year, why not encourage them to make their own? We offer a range of gorgeous DIY Christmas gift projects, including paintable photo frames, mugs, and plaster hand imprints.
Kids (and adults) can even have fun designing their own DIY Christmas cards with stamps and stickers.
Kids aren’t the only one who can have fun getting creative at Christmas. We offer all sorts of fun DIY Christmas supplies for everyone to enjoy:
If you think your Christmas crafts and decorations are enough to turn Rudolph’s nose green with envy, we want to see them. Christmas is all about spreading joy, and there’s nothing that brings us more joy than seeing the incredible creativity of our artistic community.
