We’ve been having a lot of fun making Christmas crafts this season! These egg carton bells were quick and easy to make, and they are a lot of fun to play with, too.

Egg Carton Bells Christmas Craft for Kids

We started by painting our egg cups.

After they dried I bent a chenille stem in half and pushed it through the center of the egg cup leaving loose ends. We twisted two jingle bells onto the ends and then secured them.

We finished the bells by adding some holiday ribbon.

All of the kids have fun making music with the bells, but Little Buddy was the most impressed by the pretty sound.

These bells are great for singing and dancing to holiday music. They also make pretty ornaments for the tree when you’re done playing with them. Tomorrow for the Discover & Explore indoor games theme, we’ll share another activity we’ve been doing with our egg carton bells.

Less stress, more connecting this holiday season? Yes, PLEASE!

From the arrival of fall to Halloween to Thanksgiving and Christmas, the last four months of the year can be a wonderful opportunity for making family memories and spending time together, but they can also be stressful as we try to collect ideas, recipes, and activities to try together.

Stephanie Morgan, founder of Modern Parents Messy Kids, a site that’s been voted Best Craft Blog in Parents Magazine and one of babble.com’s Top 50 Craft Mom Blogs, recently released a new eBook to help us have a little less stress and more time to connect with family this year, and I’m so glad to be an affiliate for such a great resource.

Stephanie’s goal is to make it easier on all of us to enjoy the holidays with our kids. Hands-On Holidays is 100 pages full of her family’s very favorite ways to connect as a family over the holiday season. I love the convenience of having so many ideas in one place, and most of them are simple enough for even my toddler to participate in.

The book includes picture book suggestions, DIY decor, activities, and treats. Bonus sections also offer even more ideas to enjoy. Click here to view more details.

    I have to say that I absolutely love your ideas here. I have homeschooled for 20 years and I run a home preschool. I enjoy hands-on learning, and needed to see how to implement that with the preschoolers. You have made that simple and easy for me. I have four children of my own, 21, 19, 16, and 11…we did a lot of hands-on, but now it’s only the two youngest homeschooling, and hands-on isn’t a big thing. So thank you for your ideas and keep up the great work. God bless you.

      I am so glad you are finding some inspiration here, Shesta. Your home preschool looks wonderful! We’re just beginning our homeschooling journey, so I find your 20 years of experience very inspiring. Thanks for stopping by. I hope to hear more from you in the future.
