Create your own Christmas Card DIY activity

This one-page craft has a card base to fold in half. The front shows "Merry Christmas!" over a starry night sky and snowy hills, and the back panel is left blank. Below are festive cut-outs: a Christmas tree, a yellow star, three ornaments, a snowman in a top hat and scarf, three gift boxes, a gingerbread man, a candy cane, holly, snowflakes and a "Happy Holidays!" banner.

Kids color the shapes, cut along the dotted lines, fold the card and paste the decorations on the front. It builds scissor skills and gives them a handmade card to give away.
