One of the best parts about the holiday season is all the decorations. There are lights everywhere, Christmas trees, and most importantly ornaments. Whether you’re an adult that loves to decorate or a child who can’t wait to get their hands on some glitter glue, there’s something special about making your own ornament. I have a fun idea for kids who want to make an ornament craft themselves! This Christmas Lights Ornament craft is especially great if they don’t have any ideas in mind or need help with fine motor skills.
