Here's what I do with my toddlers:
Use model magic (made by crayola) to make round circles. Then push the toddlers hand into it for a handprint, poke a circle in the top for a ribbon and you've got an ornament.
Last year, I painted the handprints so they'd show up better on the model magic. This year my plan is to paint the kids' little hands before I press them down.
You can find model magic at Target, Hobby Lobby, or Michael's.

You kind find all kinds of kids Christmas craft books at your local library that will have complete instructions of ornaments and all other kinds of things! We did that this year at it was a lot of fun! One thing I saw once that was really cute but have not done yet... get a cookie cutter, I would use a star or heart and find a copper one or the kind that have rubber on one side, then trace the shape onto a black and white pic (or colored, whatever you prefer), cut the pic out and attach it to the back of the cookie cutter and it becomes a frame! Punch a small hole in the top of the pic and thread a ribbon though to hang it on the tree!! You could also embellish with sequin, glitter, stickers... anything really!! Have fun!!! Merry Christmas!!

Yesterday, I gave my kids paper plates. I cute a large hole in the center and gave them dried pasta to glue on around the plate. Use clear glue and get lots of different pasta shapes and colors. Hang it with a piece of green yarn and it makes a cute wreath. This craft kept my 5 and 4 year old busy for almost an hour. They loved it. These were a bit too big to hang on the tree so we put them on the doorknobs...but you could make them smaller if you want a tree ornament.

My kids and I designed the patterns for these cute but kid friendly ornament projects.
They are made out of easy to use felt and are very inexpensive to make and best of all they will not break. The gingerbread man is my favorite I think but the mitten ornament is super cute too.
With both ornaments, if you have a special or favorite holiday scent you can add it to the stuffing to give them that personalized feel. I hope youll check them out and if you make one, please leave me a message and let me know how it went.
You have a blast whatever ornaments you and your kids choose to make and cherish the memories you find along the way too. :-)

Make salt dough ornaments and the kids can cut them out with cookie cutters and paint them after they're baked.
Roll pinecones in glue, then roll them in glitter.
Decorate store-bought balls with glue then roll them in glitter.
Make paper snowflakes.
Stick three styrofoam balls together with glue or toothpicks and the kids can glue buttons on for eyes, nose, etc.
