Crafting can be a great way to relax and de-stress for students. It can help to channel energy into a creative outlet and give the mind a break from the pressures of school and life. Crafting also allows students to express themselves in a unique and personalized way. Whether it’s a holiday party craft, or building with Legos, crafting can be a great way to relax and get creative.
Looking for a holiday party craft for kids that will keep them busy and engaged? These llamas in silly holiday sweaters can be taken home as a gift for the family after the fun is over. Students pick a zen doodle writing circle and one of several llamas and sweaters to build these ornaments. Teachers and counselors can work with students ahead of time by practicing what they will write on their ornaments. Students will brainstorm things that they love and write about them.

After students choose their topic, they write on the ornament and decorate with colored pencils, markers or crayons. Finally, attach the llama to the ornament and add string for hanging on a tree. If you don’t have a tree, tape it to the wall or just send it home as a holiday gift. It’s that easy.
