Our Experience With This Paper Ornament Craft

We had so much fun putting together these paper ornaments. It was not only a festive holiday craft, but a great way for my kids to practice their gross motor skills.

This festive craft can be paired with a Christmas movie or a Christmas story. And it’s a great way to use up simple art supplies and things you have around the house and a fantastic way to recycle cardboard.

My littlest one didn’t quite have the skills to punch the paper. But he was able to stick the paper on the cardboard ornaments. My older kids had no issues at all. We all had fun and then sipped some cocoa afterwards admiring our new ornaments on the tree.
