I’m always looking for simple holiday crafts to do with the kids. And Ornaments are always a hit, so this project, which uses very basic craft supplies, was quite the hit in our home. It’s the perfect project for a stay inside cold December day.

Things you’ll need:
School glue
Wax paper
Paper and pen
Crystal glitter or other colors of your choice
Needle and thread

Things to do:
1. Draw basic snowflake shapes onto the paper using a pen or marker. Keep them simple, especially for young children.

3. Following the lines of the template, draw lines of glue onto the wax paper.
