Artful Christmas Cards to Make, Enhance and Color

Bring the whole family together this Christmas season without having to depend on commercialism. Put Christ back in Christmas in enjoyable ways. And get those creative juices flowing with simple activities that bring beautiful results.

This multilevel book is a smorgasbord of artistic activities revolving around Christmas—both the Nativity story of the birth of Christ and old-fashioned Victorian Christmas celebrations—for the whole family. In addition to sharing ideas for bringing the family closer at Christmas time, we give you easy arts and crafts in 3 different segments, for grades K-12, 48 pages in all.

In the first section we give you Victorian Christmas cards and Nativity Christmas cards in color to embellish with star and snowflake stickers, glitter glue, and craft jewels. (You can take or leave any step you choose in embellishing the cards. Be as frugal or creative as you choose.) These are mixed with ideas for family togetherness, plus 3 hot drink recipes for cold winter days.

The second section gives you nativity stained-glass cards to color, art instruction, and the Christmas story from Scripture to go with each nativity card, plus pictures and greetings (mostly with a Christian focus) for kids to paste inside the cards they make.

The third section is a mix of artistic endeavors, including ornaments in color to fold, glue and hang, gift labels to color, a wrapping paper sponge stamping craft, Christmas star stained glass designs to color at 5 different age levels, decorated notebooking pages, 3 famous angel paintings with outlines for older kids to color or paint, plus additional angels for kids of any age to color.

So much to choose from! But the best part is that you can reuse this book as many times as you like within the same household, year after year. This book will be a blessing to your family!

You can also purchase our Christmas music CD, Christmas Carols, Sweet and Clear (available in our store) for your children to listen to while they do the artwork on these pages, and a Christmas handwriting practice book, A Treasury of Christmas Carols to Trace and Color (in both cursive and manuscript to trace–also available in manuscript only).

This book is reproducible for all students living in the same home as the book’s owner.
