This year Baby and I made our own Christmas cards. We tried last year, but at one and a half Baby was too young to make pretty cards. I scoured Pinterest for inspiration and we decided on the penguin cards, which we made by potato painting. I thought I would share the fruits of my research with you, in case you are looking for ideas for your own cards.
I have included cards which would be suitable for a variety of aged children, so I hope you find something suitable.

Lovely ideas! Me and Elsie have just been looking at them together and are deciding which one to do! Thanks for sharing darling X
This is brilliant! I like the googly eyes ones. I blatantly won’t make any because I am so lazy but will think about it, lots haha xxx
I love these ideas, and think I could definitely handle the penguin one and the button one with my eldest 2. Thanks for the inspiration! #TheList
Some lovely ideas here! I think my fave are the potato stamp baubles 🙂 #thelist
I love the ribbon and button christmas tree ones. Thisnis the type of thing that I aspire to make, but my efforts never look as good as the pictures. #thelist
I absolutely love this! I will certainly be attempting to make.some with my son, he is two so it won’t turn out as beautiful as above but of course will be special to us! Thanks for hosting #thelist x
I love these! Sadly, my teens consider themselves too old to make cards with me so I have to make them alone! #TheList
This has come at the perfect time for me! Was just going to begin making cards with my son for his nursery classmates and wondering what to do. Brilliant! Thanks. #thelist
These are really neat, I especially like the ribbon one! That one is so cool. I have to confess that I am absolutely hopeless at sending out Christmas cards, I should probably make more effort! #thelist
These are great. Thanks for rounding them up this way. You’ve chosen some great ones. I will let the children choose which ones they’d like to make from your list. Narrows it down a LOT for us. We’ll be doing this as part of our advent countdown so this is really helpful xxx #TheList
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have saved me loads of time and effort. These are absolutely wonderful!!! I just love the reindeer ones. I was looking for an activity to do with the little man later and you have given me the inspiration! #thelist
Some really cracking ideas, I do love the penguin ones #thelist xxx
Fabulous ideas! I love the penguin and reindeer cards. I’ll have to store these ideas away for when the boys are bigger. Enjoying linking with #thelist for the the first time
Great ideas 🙂 I love the button tree. I think a personally made card off the little ones is so cute and personal! Thanks for hosting #TheList

I love these. Especially the circle snowman and the fingerprint reindeer. We’ve made our yearly footprint cards again ready to go. Christmas is coming up scarily fast now though. We’re so behind. xxx #thelist
Awww what lovely Christmas card ideas. Thanks for pooling them altogether. The hand print snowmen and button Christmas tree cards are my favorites. I might well give these a try this weekend! #TheList x
These are all such lovely ideas! With a 4 year old and 20 month old, I’m not sure mine would come out quite like them, but it would be fun trying! x
I love making cards with the kids at Christmas. I’m going to bookmark this one, as there are some new ones to me!
These all look fab! my little girl is far too young at the moment to be making christmas cards but hopefully next year we will get some christmassy scribbles at least! #TheList
I love the Christmas trees made out of ribbon #TheList
I love all of these! Definitely going to make some of the cute snowman footprints ones with Leo. I feel all christmassy now 🙂 Xx #TheList
Love these and have seen some of them on Pinterest before! I’m the least crafty person ever, even though I think my kids would love making their cards, we will see if it comes together, haha! #thelist
You had me at the penguins. aaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! #thelist

So cute aren’t they! x
Lovely cards! Thanks for sharing your ideas. #TheList
Aby, these are all so adorable! Each one would be a treasure to receive. I bet you and Baby had a great time. Perhaps you have started a new tradition. Happy Holidays my friend!

Thanks so much lovely x
These are so sweet! I haven’t thought about Christmas cards yet, but I think these might be the answer 🙂
These are great! I love this sort of thing & have made cards with Toddler each year, with varying degrees of involvement from her! #thelist
Oh, I love the reindeer in the dark! That’s so funny. We’ve done the mistletoes on canvas to give as gifts instead of cards. This year we’re going to do Santa in his (footprint) sleigh with (handprint) reindeer. But I love some of these other ideas too!
#thelist
I am more than a little bit obsessed with penguins, so love your cards. Another one to try out once the toddler is old enough to stop trying to eat the potatoes! #MarvMondays
Oops. I meant #TheList. Sorry, that’s what I get for trying to catch up on all these brilliant blog posts in one nap time!

I love the penguin ones, great idea. And the potato print bauble ones. So clever.
Wow, so many great ideas here! I can’t wait until my boy is old enough to do crafts with, but I actually think I’d quite like making these by myself.
Tiny fingerprints and foot prints are so cute. These are really great ideas! Thanks for compiling this list.
I love the Button Tree and Snowman. Great ideas, I’m saving these for the next Christmas season!!
