There is nothing better than Christmas ornament making with kids. These DIY ornaments are sure to be cherished for years to come.

DIY kids ornaments

As we were decorating our Christmas Tree I took a moment to really look at the ornaments that were handcrafted by the kids through the years and want to give kudos to the teachers that were behind many of them.  I have compiled a post about DIY Ornaments and easy kids Christmas crafts that make great crafts for classrooms. (mainly because these were done in a classroom.  Be sure and display these treasures upfront as they deserve some recognition.
