Sometimes it can be a little bit harder to get boys excited over crafting, my secret? Make it all about food! While the boys reluctantly sit at the table for glue and glitter, they will race eachother over when we create with food. They always said the way to a boys heart was through his tummy, though in our case it’s probably his sweet tooth! lol
Another great way to get boys crafting is to gear it to stuff they already love! This Christmas, I’m rounding up some fun holiday ornaments that your boys won’t cringe over crafting!
Minecraft fans will love these Glitter Creepers from My Mom Made That
Harry Potter fans will go crazy for these Gold Snitch ornaments from Simply Lifestyle
And these Potion Ornaments from Generations of Savings as well
Got a bunch of beach bums? Collect some sand and shells to make a Beach Ornament to bring back summer memories! Mom vs the Boys

Boys will get a giggle from these Springy Snowmen also from Crafts n’ Coffee

Thumbprint ornaments are parents favourites but the boys will also love these Ninja Turtle Ornaments ones from The Joys of Boys

Some lovely ideas here, I guess most boys would go for the Glitter Creepers first. I personally like the Elf boots and the Springy Snowman. 🙂
I love the Snowman and Beach ornament.
One of my little guys is a huge ornament fan. He would have tons of fun making these.

The wooden tree ornament with Popsicle sticks and buttons were so much fun to make,wish i had taken a photo before they were stored away.
My oldest son would love any of these that are connected to Harry Potter, he’s a big fan – his daughter would love them too 🙂 🙂

It is difficult to get ornaments for boys. I lvoe your suggestions, especially the Harry Potter one and the Button ‘Trees. I would also put their name on them. Thank you for all your suggestions and for sharing them with us.
