Make Your Christmas Jewelry
Now for the sparkly main event – crafting festive jewellery!
What You’ll Need:
- Large beads – approximately 50 per child and 20mm size is perfect for tiny hands
- Elastic cords – pre-cut lengths with one end pegged to prevent spills
- Floating lockets – red, green, or silver
- Floating charms – snowflakes, candy canes, Santa hats, Christmas trees
- Organza bags – to contain beads, lockets and charms
💡 Tip: Offer both beaded necklaces and floating locket kits — this gives kids a magical choice without doubling your workload.
Instructions:
1. Choose Your Jewelry
Let kids pick between:
✔ DIY floating locket kits
✔ DIY necklace kits
✔ Build-your-own beaded necklace + bracelet sets
2. Prep the Magic
Provide pre-cut elastic cords with a peg clipped to one end to stop beads from sliding off — trust us, this saves your sanity.
3. Mix & Match
Kids thread their chosen beads, charms, and festive accents to create Christmas-themed wearable jewels. Encourage patterns, rainbow mixes, or ‘Santa’s signature colour combo.’
4. Fill the Lockets
For floating lockets, kids select tiny charms like snow globes, stars, candy canes, and Santa hats, then snap the locket shut for instant holiday magic.
5. Wear & Share
Once the creations are finished, kids can proudly wear their jewelry for the rest of the party!
Holly Jolly Christmas Games
Keep the festive fun going with Christmas games everyone will love!
- Pass the Christmas Tree: Sit in a circle and pass a soft Christmas tree pillow while the music plays. When the music stops, the player holding the tree is out! The last person left is the winner!
- Santa’s Scavenger Hunt: Hide clue-filled Christmas ornaments for kids to find one by one, each leading to the next hiding place, until the final clue reveals Santa’s sack of goodies!
- Candy Cane Relay: Kids race to pick up candy canes using only candy canes (hook to hook) and deliver them to the next teammate — no hands touching the candy!
💡 Tip: Create a fun ‘North Pole Photo Booth’ with props like elf hats, candy canes, and reindeer antlers for adorable photo ops!
Santa-Approved Christmas Treats
After all that jewelry-making, it’s time to treat your little elves to some holly-jolly holiday snacks!
- Christmas Cocoa Bar: Warm up their hands and hearts with a cosy Christmas Cocoa Bar! Serve hot chocolate from a festive dispenser in candy cane striped mugs or cups. To make it easy (and less messy), hand out cocoa bombs so kids can drop, watch, and stir up the magic.
- Polar Express Popcorn: All aboard the Polar Express Popcorn Station! Serve popcorn in mini sleigh crates or festive boxes with themed mix-ins like Gingerbread Crunch, Jingle Bell Jumble, or Coconut Snowball. Add ‘All Aboard!’ ticket labels for each flavour to keep the fun rolling.
- Christmas Tree Cones: Transform simple ice cream cones into edible evergreens! Dip each cone in green melted chocolate, then decorate with candy stars, sugar pearls, and Christmas sprinkles to look like sparkling mini trees.
💡 Tip: Create a ‘Tinsel Toppings Bar’ where kids can mix and match goodies like mini marshmallows, crushed candy canes, chocolate chips, and festive sprinkles!
Elf-Approved Party Favours
Send your little elves home with gifts as sweet and magical as the season itself! Each favour adds a sprinkle of North Pole charm and is the perfect ending to a day of Christmas creativity.
- Portable North Pole Reindeer: Pop a plush reindeer into a mini North Pole mailbox for a fun surprise straight from Santa’s stables! Add a postage-style name tag and slip in a ‘special delivery’ note from the North Pole for a keepsake that feels truly magical.
- Portable North Pole Elves: Hang elf-themed stockings from a stocking holder or garland, each one labelled with a child’s name tag. Tucked inside, a cheeky elf awaits, ready to keep an eye on things until Christmas Eve!
- DIY Christmas Wands: Every elf needs a little sparkle! In a Santa’s Secret Stash bag, tuck a wooden craft star wand along with glitter pots, Posca paint pens, ribbons, and trims. Encourage kids to decorate their wands at home and cast a little Christmas cheer wherever they go!
- DIY Christmas Jewelry Kits: Let kids create and wear their own holiday bling! Fill Santa-themed bags with colourful beads and elastic, and add a festive name tag for a fun, personal touch.
💡 Tip: Add a touch of magic to every favour with printable ‘From Santa’s Workshop’ or ‘Elf-Inspected’ tags. Because Santa knows better than anyone that the magic’s in the details!
