Christmas is a magical season. It brings with it feelings of peace and love, happiness and joy, warmth, and family closeness. And kids are no exception!

In fact, there’s probably nothing kids love more than Christmas–except maybe presents!

They want to do everything they can to get into the spirit of the season: decorate their rooms with Christmas decor; sing Christmas songs from morning ’til night; make crafts like this Grinch tissue paper craft for kids…and eat lots of cookies!

Also, be sure to look through all of our Grinch activities for kids for even more holiday ideas.

Supplies

• Colored cardstock or construction paper
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Tissue paper (we used these precut tissue paper squares)
• Grinch template (unlock the image at the end of the post to go to the download page)

Directions

Start by downloading the template and printing it out. Once the template is printed, gather the materials for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring the Grinch to life!

First, guide your child to glue the dark green tissue paper inside the Grinch’s nose.

Next, help your child to glue the light green tissue paper all over the Grinch’s head.

Create the Grinch’s eyes by gluing the eyebrows to the top of the eyes so it looks like he’s angry. Glue these just above the nose.

Finally, encourage your child to glue the mouth in the middle of the face, just below the nose.

Isn’t this a fun Christmas craft for kids?!
