Christmas Arts and Craft Supplies Online in Australia
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.
Christmas Art and Craft Activities for Kids
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.
Unleash their Christmas Creativity
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.
Get Kids Involved in the Christmas Preparations
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:
-
Antlers and Santa Hats: Who wants a boring old, store-bought Santa hat or set of antlers, when your kids can wear their very own hand-decorated accessories?
-
Suncatchers: With raised ridges that make it easier for the little ones to keep in the lines, hand-painted Christmas suncatchers look absolutely stunning when hanging from a window.
-
Baubles and Decorations: Your Christmas tree will look fabulous when covered in dozens of personalised baubles and decorations from the kids.
-
Scenes: If your kids aren’t interested in painting or drawing, then our range our Christmas stickers might be more to their liking. Even younger kids can enjoy personalising their books or creating fun scenes using stickers!
- Free-Play Christmas Craft Kits: If you’re just not sure what Christmas crafts your kids would enjoy most, why not set them free with a big bag of Christmas craft supplies? With so many exciting materials to work with, there’s no end to what your kids can dream up!
Put on a Christmas Show
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.
DIY Christmas Gifts and Cards
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.
DIY Christmas Decorations
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:
-
DIY Christmas Wreath: With a decofoam or plywood ring as your base, you can create your own personalised Christmas wreath with paint, garlands, sequins, bells, holly leaves, pom poms, and more!
-
DIY Christmas Ornaments: Festooning your Christmas tree with DIY ornaments is a great way of adding that personal touch. We stock all kinds of baubles, and plywood ornaments that can be hung as-is, or decorated in your own personal style.
-
Pet Baubles and Ornaments: The furry, feathery, or scaly members of your household are as much a part of the family as anyone else, so be sure to include them in the festivities. Pet baubles and other Christmas tree ornaments are a great way of celebrating with your beloved pet.
-
Personalised Gift Tags: It’s the little things that can mean the most. Personalised gift tags are a great way of showing your loved ones that you’ve gone the extra mile for them this Christmas.
-
Advent Calendars: Advent calendars are a fun and festive way of counting down the days until Christmas. But we think those advent calendar treats taste at least five times better when they’ve come out of your own, hand-painted advent calendar!
- Baked Goods: If you’ve got a flair for all things delicious, then baking your own Christmas treats might be for you. Holiday baking also makes an excellent option for those who have no space for storing any more Christmas decorations. You can just eat these ones!
