Looking for last minute ideas for *easy* but cute xmas crafts/paintings etc. Want the kids to make something to go with their gift to their parents (photo album with pics of them @ daycare). I've already done a few handprint /footprint paintings. I think they are super cute and a good way for the little ones to be involved with it, but still have it look cute. I don't want to overdo it with them tho haha

Try the glitter ornaments.

Super easy and only takes a couple minutes to do.

We wrapped a piece of white felt around a bag of popcorn and decorated the felt to look like a snowman. Craft/gift in one

I bought some cheap canvas at walmart and some watercolor paint. Each kid made his own masterpiece.

I just google image search different winter/christmas themes and there are always tons of easy ideas. This year I searched "toddler tree craft", "snowman prek", "reindeer art toddler" etc. I don't know how people lesson planned pre google

This is just a short easy one to make gift tags:
Take a green (or any color) pipe cleaner, shapenit like a Christmas tree (bend it back and forth - pretty easy). Put on a small piece of cardstock. If you have a Merry Christmas stamp, let the kids stamp it, or decorate with stickers.

We did these popsicle stick ornaments with the 2 year olds. They were quick, easy, and turned out really cute!
