This Christmas ornament is so simple and so much fun to make. Kids aren’t generally known for being the most patient of creatures, and I can relate I am not either. This craft promises instant gratification, no glue to dry, no long wait times just create and enjoy. This ornament can be played with without worry, although not really unbreakable it’s definitely kid friendly. If you don’t have old Easter eggs try using an egg carton section instead.
- Gather your materials. You will need some green plastic Easter eggs, some red pipe cleaners, some jingle bells, scissors and red sticky back foam.
- Start by cutting shapes into your foam. If you are really keen you can make Christmas shapes, we made triangle and rectangles.
- Stick them on the plastic egg.
- Thread your jingle bell onto your pipe cleaner.
- Bend both ends of the pipe cleaner and thread through the holes at the top of the egg.
- Pull through and make a loop.
- Hang on your tree and stop worrying about telling your kids not to touch the tree!

Looks like fun! And, I like your son’s shirt! Didn’t realize you were in Texas! Hook ’em!

We aren’t in Texas but my husband is Texan and all his family is there. So we go back often and my son can already Hook ’em like a pro. I have to admit I am starting to get football and was crossing my fingers as the clock ticked down on Saturday!

I like the book suggestion – I will look for it. My daughter did a similar craft in her preschool with paper cups – it was a huge hit with her.

Made these today with two two-year-olds and they were a HUGE hit! Not only were they able to do all the parts of the project pretty much themselves, but they played with the for an hour afterward! Thank you!!
