What is your child wishing for this Christmas season? There’s no better way to let Santa Claus know what’s on your child’s wish list than by printing out this Santa wish list template at home and letting your child fill in the blanks with all their desired items. Is your daughter hoping for a new bike with a horn? Does your son want a Razor scooter? Are they both hoping for a new Disney movie DVD or a great new video game?

Make sure Santa Claus (as well as Mom, Dad and grandparents, too!) know what the special kids in your life are hoping to find under the tree or stuffed inside their stocking this year. Filling out this Santa wish list template is good practice for writing and spelling, and it serves a useful purpose, too – you won’t have to guess about gifts!

Reindeer Poop Poem
I woke with such a fright when I heard Santa call…
“Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!”
I ran to the lawn and in the snowy white drifts,
those nasty reindeer had left “little gifts.”

I got an old shovel and started to scoop
neat little piles of reindeer poop!
But to throw them away seemed such a waste,
so I saved them, thinking-you might like a taste!

As I finished my task, which took quite awhile,
Old Santa passed by and he sheepishly smiled.
And I heard him exclaim as he sped off in the sky…
“Well they’re not potty trained, but at least they can fly!”

Christmas Ornaments
Christmas ornaments are a great craft for kids because you can purchase unfinished wooden ornament to paint and decorate or purchase ornament kits at your local craft store. Creating your own ornaments this way is great for kids because the projects are simple and don’t require many materials.

Christmas Signs
Many people enjoy hanging small Christmas signs or plaques throughout their home. This is another good project for children, For small children, you could simply have them draw a picture that you can mount on construction paper or poster board, while older children may be ready to create a design on a blank plaque you can buy at the local craft shop.

Christmas Centerpiece
Another fun Christmas decoration children can make is a centerpiece for the dining room table. If you’re looking for something elegant, try purchasing a vase with some artificial flowers and holiday accessories and let the kids arrange it. For a more casual centerpiece, check the local craft store for an appropriately sized project of a Christmas object such as a tree or a snowman, and then let the kids put it together and place it on the table.

There are literally thousands of fun Christmas craft projects for kids online, or in holiday magazines and craft books. Look around and see which ones are best for your children’s age and skill levels. Whatever type of project you choose, it’s sure to become a treasured part of your holiday decorating, and years from now you’ll be able to look back at all the projects your kids made over the years and remember each one fondly.
