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!)

The question asked up the page: Do you decorate your tree with an angel or a star on the top? Not really sure what is on the top of the tree if it goes up. Don’t really need an Angel on top though, I collect Angels as a hobby and have over 100 in my Living Room.
