DIY Christmas Ornaments Kids Can Make: 25 DIY Ornaments for Kids of All Ages

Spruce up pinecones to transform them into beautiful DIY ornaments.

There's something so special about DIY Christmas ornaments that make them the stars of the Christmas tree each year—especially when they're made by little hands. Fancy store-bought ornaments may be pretty, but they just can't hold a candle to salt dough handprint ornaments, popsicle-stick reindeer, seashell snowman, and other DIY ornaments kids can make themselves (or with a little help from a grown-up). Plus, DIY Christmas ornaments make great gifts for friends, family, and teachers.

Here are 25 DIY Christmas ornaments to make with kids of all ages, from toddlers and preschoolers to tweens and teens. For more crafty holiday fun, check out our list of 101 Christmas crafts, games, and activities for kids and our Christmas Activities and Holiday Fun Guide for Kids.

Circus Abyssinia Springs Into Town with Action-Packed Tulu at the New Victory Theater

Circus Abyssinia's brand-new spectacle Tulu leaves you wanting more—in the best possible way. The exhilarating Ethiopian troupe returns to the New Victory Theater with Tulu, a cavalcade of gravity-defying athletic acts in tribute to the legendary long-distance runner Derartu Tulu, the first African woman to win an Olympic gold medal. Featuring a cast of nine and running just an hour, Tulu is smaller and more intimate than Circus Abyssinia's last eye-popping extravaganza, Ethiopian Dreams, which played at the New Vic in 2018. But there are benefits to the scaled-down scope, especially for families. Because of the abbreviated running time, very young theatergoers likely won't get fidgety and audiences of all ages will be in awe of the performers' versatility!

Read on to find out about the fabulous feats you'll see and find all our top New Victory picks this season in our Guide to Children's Theater in NYC.
