Hark! If you don’t have any herald angels blinging or singing from your Christmas tree, we’ve got a beautiful collection of Easy Angel Crafts for Kids that will add some angelic beauty right away!

Angel Craft Ideas

Angel crafts are a classic Christmas activity to do with kids after reading the Christmas story, or while listening to some beautiful Christmas carols. There are so many ways to make lovely angel crafts with kids while keeping things simple.

We collected everything from Angel Finger puppets to ornaments to cards and mobiles. Many of these crafts can be made with materials you already have on hand – some of them even from the recycling bin.

(We’ve also included a few adult angel crafts here for good measure!)
