Easy Christmas Crafts for Kids Popsicle Sticks
Christmas is such an exciting time of year, especially if you have young kids in the house. The excitement that builds as Christmas gets closer is a feeling that I love seeing in my children. Santa is coming, presents are given and best of all, decorating the Christmas Tree. Before I had kids, I wanted my tree to be perfect, not anymore. Now I want the homemade decorations. I want the decorations that were broken because they wouldn't leave the tree alone as babies. I want it to be filled with memories of my little family.
This year we've been making a whole lot of Popsicle Stick Christmas Crafts. They're easy to make, a lot of fun, and can be placed on the tree for many years to come. Here are 25 of the best Popsicle Stick Christmas Crafts from around the world.

1. Craft Stick Reindeer Craft
Did you fall in love with this idea the second you saw it? I know I did. I love how they double as a DIY musical instrument. The reindeers nose will jingle away the next time you have a Christmas carol sing-along.
2. Craft Stick Reindeer – Gift of Curiosity
I made these with my son last year, they look so cute hanging from our Christmas Tree. This year I'm going to try the Paper Plate Reindeer Craft from Gift of Curiosity. They're so simple to make that your toddler or preschooler will have so much fun. They'll probably make enough reindeer to pull their own sleigh.
5. Craft Stick Santa – Happy Hooligans
This Craft Stick Santa is one of three craft stick idea from Happy Hooligans. In their post Craft Stick Santa, Elf and Reindeer Ornaments you'll also learn how to make an elf and reindeer ornament to keep this cute little Santa company on the Christmas Tree.
Although they're made as ornaments, I really like the idea of using them as some DIY puppets. That way your kids can make their own small world north pole with elves making the toys and reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh. Since they're so compact, it would be so easy to put them into a busy bag if you're traveling around and visiting family this holiday season.
6. Craft Sticks Santa Craft – Easy Peasy and Fun
Don't you just love the full beard on this incredible Santa Craft from Easy Peasy and Fun? I know the first thing my kids would want to do it to stroke that beard to see how soft it is. This craft is also a sensory toy, especially if you can find some scratchy or rough material for the hat. Your little ones will love discovering the difference between soft and rough with this activity.
When I was reading this post I also came across the idea for Santa Cootie Catchers. They were so cute that I just have to share them with you. Best of all, Easy Peasy and Fun will give them to you as a free printable. Head over there to get your free copy today.
7. Popsicle Stick Elf – Artsy Craftsy Mom
How adorable is this little guy from Artsy Craftsy Mom? Shruti pointed out that he reminds her of Peter Pan and I couldn't agree more. I can understand why her Craft Stick Fairies are the perfect accompanying activity. When Christmas is over, you can take this elf and return him to Neverland.
9. Wooden Sled Ornament – Fireflies and Mud Pies
I love this sweet sled ornament, don't you? When I look at it I get this warm feeling as I imagine children laughing and having fun. That's one thing I love about Christmas, all of the young enthusiasm I experienced as a kid resurfaces at this time of year.
If this ornament gives you a warm glow, then be sure to check out these adorable pinecone reindeer ornaments from Fireflies and Mud Pies. They'll put a smile on your face in no time.
11. Craft Stick Snowman – Easy Peasy and Fun
These popsicle stick snowmen are one of the cutest Christmas crafts I've seen this year. I'm a big fan of the Easy Peasy and Fun Blog, and I have no doubt after seeing these guys that you will be too. If you love snowmen craft, then be sure to check out Easy Peasy and Fun's Simple Paper Snowman Craft. It's so cute, you'll love it.
15. Santa Craft Sticks Frame – Teach Me Mommy
Can you imagine having a photo for every one of your children's Christmas'? Personally I love the idea of turning those photo's into tree ornaments.
Nadia, from Teach Me Mommy, is also giving away some free Christmas Counting Puzzle Printables. It may be the holiday season, but that doesn't mean our kids have to stop learning while they play.
23. Craft Stick Snowflakes
These snowflakes are so easy to make. You can either paint them as I did, or you can glue the already dyed craft sticks together and then glue glitter, sequins or whatever else you like onto them. If you're going down the glitter route, then I highly recommend using glitter glue instead. I don't use anything else. It's so much easier to use and it doesn't make a mess that's impossible to clean up. I can't tell you how ecstatic I was when I first discovered this amazing loose glitter alternative.
24. Grinch Popsicle Stick Craft – Rainy Day Mum
I love the cheeky smile on this Grinches face. While I may not share his initial distaste for Christmas, I still think it's a wonderful story. How the Grinch Stole Christmas is one of my favorite Christmas Movies and one that I'll be watching with the kids for many years to come.
This Grinch Craft is from Rainy Day Mum and is the perfect activity to accompany her Grinch Heart Science Experiment. I know that a lot of Christmas activities are centered around arts and crafts. Here she's brought some science into the holiday season.
