Craft fans can grab paper and scissors themselves. While this is more time consuming, it is a lot of fun. For handicrafts you should definitely have the following at home:
- Construction paper in different colors and thicknesses (red, green, silver, gold, dark blue are particularly suitable as colors)
- Glue and scissors
- pencil
- rubber stamp
- small applications or stickers with Christmas motifs
- Glitter
