\"33<\/p>\n

Children make an extraordinary number of kids christmas crafts, don’t they?<\/p>\n

Some of them are so bad they get thrown away at the earliest opportunity. Others are loveable but fall apart, only making it through one season of glory.<\/p>\n

But no childhood is complete without that one item of craft that forever remains part of the annual reveal of ornaments and decorations.<\/p>\n

Every year my grandmother would bring out a paddle pop stick nativity scene\u00a0that my father made as a child. This delighted us as kids as it was a reminder that Dad was once a child too!<\/p>\n

Every year my mother would hang on the tree a bunch of heart-shaped green and red woven bags that my brother and I made (with Mum’s help) as kids. Right into adulthood we loved the joy of finding special sweets in the little bags.<\/p>\n

What Christmas craft is going to become part of your family’s yearly\u00a0tradition? These 33 ideas ought to get\u00a0you in the crafty Christmas spirit.<\/p>\n
