I love decorating for Christmas, especially with homemade Christmas decorations and ornaments. Every year, I decorate our tree with some of the homemade ornaments that I made when I was in school. And I absolutely treasure every single one of them! My hope is that my kids will make some Christmas decorations and ornaments that they will love for years and treasure, even when they're grown adults.

Thankfully, these giant Christmas light suncatchers are made with contact paper so they'll hopefully last many years. This suncatcher craft is great for a variety of ages, works on fine motor skills, and looks so beautiful hanging in the windows. Trust me, the pictures just don't do this craft justice!

Even one of my piano students, who's a local preschool teacher, was in love with them and wanted to try them with her class. Christmas Craft for Kids: Make Giant Christmas Light Suncatchers

I promise that this craft is easy and you can certainly make them as big, or as little, as you like. We, however, chose to make big lights since I have a huge window out front to decorate.
