Kids love to be involved in holiday decorating. Choose a theme for sprucing up your mantel with some seasonal style. A snowman theme is perfect for Christmas mantel decor and you can easily find Christmas stockings to match this theme. A layer of cotton batting on your mantel will give the appearance that your snowmen are sitting on top of a snowy landscape. Help the kids arrange some branches of evergreens on the cotton and dust them with flour to make them look flocked. Have your children display a large snowman plush toy on the mantel to coordinate with the theme. Choose a snowman toy with bendable wire arms so you can have Frosty hold a small ornament or faux gift made by covering a matchbox with scrapbooking paper. Arrange glittered letters that spell “SNOW” alongside the snowman as a winter scene setter for festive sparkle. Kids will delight in discovering all the different snowflake patterns they can make with this simple paper cutting craft of snowflakes. Each snowflake is unique and they are a lot of fun to make. They look great when stuck on a wall, strung together in a garland or placed over red gift wrapping as present toppers. Have children make snowflakes with white paper and a pair of scissors. When you have enough snowflakes, string them into a garland with needle and yarn. Give each of your children personalized Christmas stockings to hang on the mantelpiece. Quilted stockings made from multiple fabrics and appliqued motifs are a great way to add excitement and cheer to the holiday mantel. Christmas stockings made of white fleece or fur can be an excellent addition to your snowman-themed mantel decor. Fill the stockings with themed stocking stuffers for kids. Holiday books with beautifully-illustrated Christmas stories with snowmen, Santa and other Christmas characters can be a good holiday present. Stamp sets with snowflake stamps to decorate holiday cards and gift tags make ideal stocking stuffers for kids who love art and craft. Other good ideas for stocking stuffers for kids are plush toys like snowmen, penguins and snow owls. Start the snow flurries with these themed decor and gift ideas.
