A simple, screen-free craft to bring a little calm and connection into your home.
This gentle festive activity invites children to slow down, get creative, and think about the things that matter most to them at Christmas. Using our printable bauble outlines, little ones can decorate their ornament with coloured paper, paint, glitter, or anything you have to hand. It’s wonderfully open-ended — and messy hands are very welcome.
Once decorated, the bauble becomes a keepsake to hang on the tree or display at home.
The printable bauble sheet
Coloured or patterned paper (torn or cut)
Glue
Pens, crayons or paint
Glitter or stickers (optional)
Print out the bauble sheets.
Invite your child to decorate the baubles using torn paper, paint, glitter, or any materials they enjoy.
Let it dry, then cut it out if you’d like to hang it.
Add ribbon or string to turn it into a decoration.
This craft quietly supports emotional well-being by giving children:
A mindful, hands-on moment to slow down.
A chance to express themselves through colour and texture.
A gentle opportunity to think about kindness, gratitude and the people they care about (if you choose to add your own prompts).
Christmas can be busy and a little overwhelming for small nervous systems. Sitting together at the table with glue, paper and glitter offers a small pocket of calm — and a lovely way to reconnect.
