Easy Christmas Craft
We love easy, low-key arts and crafts projects for kids. They give my kids a chance to enjoy some screen-free creativity and artistic expression! I love them because it’s easy and fun! And, admittedly, they force me to keep a close eye on my kids around paint and give them a lot of attention, and my kids soak it up!
Washable paints and placing a paper bag (or using our mess mat) under the project help me feel comfortable letting even toddlers paint. It’s particularly fun to feel festive and do holiday-themed projects. And all it takes is the right project or template to help facilitate this very activity!

Christmas Finger Painting Ideas:
Here are several ideas to enjoy the Christmas Tree finger painting download and make it more fun!
- Fit a fingerprint bulb on each small line on the squiggle.
- Come up with a unique color scheme and create it on the tree!
- Do a monochromatic tree mixing one color with black, white, or even yellow to make various shades. Enjoy a fun monochromatic tree!
- Fill in the areas between the lines entirely. Try to create your own branches or ornament fill so there isn’t any white space.
- Print multiple prints, and create a Christmas tree farm.
- Try different paint application techniques: stamp with fingerprints, draw lines with fingers, shade colors together, etc. Get creative!
