These 30 Christ-Centered Christmas Activities and Crafts for Kids were carefully chosen and brought together for use with your family this holiday season.

Today I am thrilled to present to you 30 Christ-centered Christmas activities and crafts for children and families.  I have wanted to put this post together for a very long time – over a year! – but I didn’t want to just throw together a sloppy list.  I wanted to carefully research and review each item that I put on the list as a resource, and it just didn’t happen until now.  I realized that the vast majority of my posts about Christmas were completely secular ideas, crafts, and recipes, and, once I started researching for this post, I realized that my situation was the norm!  There just aren’t many Christmas posts out there with ideas that center around our Savior.  Luckily, I found 30 posts of Christ-centered Christmas activities and crafts that I LOVE, and today I am sharing them with you.  They are good for a wide variety of ages, and I already printed out and planned to use many of them with my own family.  Christ is truly the reason for the Christmas season, and I hope that some of these activities and crafts help bring Him and His Spirit into your home this month!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

30 Christ-Centered Christmas Activities and Crafts for Kids  for use with your family this holiday season.

Christmas Advent Wreath from Bombshell Bling

This is one of our family’s most treasured traditions and is one of my favorite Christ-Centered Christmas Activities.

My mom did it with us growing up, and now I do it with my babies.  Essentially, we light the candles each week and sing Christmas songs and have a spiritual thought, and on Christmas Day we light all of the candles and read the Biblical account of the Christmas story altogether.  More details, background, and even a tutorial to make a pretty one like this are on the blog post.
