Christmas ornaments are especially good because you can hang them on the tree for years to come. Today I’ve rounded up 12 easy Christmas ornaments that your toddler can make, with a little help from you. They’ll love making these decorations and seeing them hang on the tree!

Homemade Disney Christmas Ornaments

We are HUGE Disney fans in our family and now my daughter is old enough to really appreciate Christmas she’s desperate to have a whole tree full of Disney ornaments! Since she loves to craft too I thought I’d combine her passions and look for some homemade Disney Christmas ornaments we could make together.

I found so many fabulous ideas with everything from Mickey to Princess Elsa ornaments and they are so easy to make. So gather the family around and make an afternoon of it!
