These Free Christmas Craft Downloads Will Buy You 5 Minutes to Wrap Presents

Running out of ways to keep the kids entertained? Download these free Christmas crafts and enjoy five minutes of well-deserved peace!

Need a quick distraction for the kids while you frantically wrap those last-minute presents? These fun, festive, and free downloadable Christmas crafts for kids are here to save the day. From colouring sheets to paper Santa hats, they’ll keep little hands busy and out of mischief for at least five precious minutes (maybe even ten if you’re lucky).

From a cut-out Santa hat to a colour-by-numbers snow globe, these fun and festive crafts are perfect for keeping little hands busy and imaginations buzzing. Kids can also get creative by designing their own mug and hot chocolate or crafting a gingerbread mask for some holiday-themed pretend play. These printables are easy to use and will keep kids entertained while you tackle your to-do list.

Not only are these activities fun, but they’re also great for nurturing your child’s creativity and fine motor skills. Cutting, colouring, and assembling their own holiday crafts help develop coordination and problem-solving—all while they enjoy themselves. And the best part? These crafts are simple enough for kids to manage on their own (with a bit of help for younger ones), giving you a chance to take a breather. All you need is a printer, some basic supplies like crayons, markers, scissors, and glue, and you’re ready to go.

Finding herself endlessly Googling the same old articles, only to come up empty-handed, Lexi wanted to create a platform where parents across New Zealand could scroll with their morning coffee and be inspired to get out and explore (toddlers in tow).
