This year marks my first baby's first Christmas!

I have been waiting months for this holiday season as I am a big lover of Christmas, but this year will be that much more special with our first baby!

I have been planning out crafts and pictures to do/take for my babe's first Christmas for several weeks now. Just because she won't remember it, doesn't mean she won't enjoy it!

Plus, you moms and dads will enjoy creating these special memories that will last a lifetime!

With that being said, here is a list of crafts/pictures/items to make your baby's first Christmas both enjoyable and memorable!

Pinterest graphic with text for 15+ Christmas Crafts/Pictures to Make for babies and collage of baby Christmas craft ideas.

MistleTOES

Christmas craft with baby footprints.

How adorable is this? With my baby just turning five months this is at the top of my Christmas crafts for this holiday season! You can find white canvas boards here. And all sorts of paint colors for a great price here. Comes in a pack of 12 with a small price tag! Save these for all of your other craft ideas.

NOT even a...

Another darling baby's first Christmas craft. Find a pack of 12 canvas boards here for a very small price. And paint here.

Clear Ornament With Picture

Black and white pictures of little girl inside clear Christmas ornament.

A simple yet darling Christmas ornament. Put one of your baby's first pictures, or any of their darling pictures in a clear ornament and paint some glitter on it and there you have it! You can find easily fillable clear ornaments here.

Salt Dough Ornaments

Hand and footprint DIY clay ornaments.

Use your baby's hand and foot prints to create these cute salt dough ornaments. You can find a clay handprint and footprint keepsake kit here (creates two plaques) for a small price. If you prefer to make your own salt dough, visit Viva Veltora for the tutorial. Find all sorts of paint colors here.

Baby Hat Ornament

Clear Christmas ornament with baby hospital items from birth.

Gather up some items from the hospital such as their hat, their foot band, their blood pressure band, or whatever else you might have. Place them in a clear ornament and you have a darling new ornament for the tree. You can find a pack of clear fillable ornament here.

Ultrasound Ornament

Clear Christmas ornament with glitter and picture of baby ultrasound.

This is a must for my Christmas tree this year! You can find clear fillable ornaments here.

Handprint/Footprint Ornament

Clear Christmas ornament with baby\'s hand and foot print.

Throw your baby's footprint/handprint on an ornament and you have a treasurable keepsake ornament forever. You can use a clear ornament as shown, but I think I am going to use a red ornament with white paint. You can find several different colors of shatterproof ornaments here. So no shattering one of the most treasurable ornaments.

Using your baby's hands/feet you can make all of these darling Christmas crafts. You can find all sorts of paint colors for a great price here. And 12 canvas boards for a small price here.

    I love these ornament ideas. Especially the one with items belonging to the baby. I wish I would’ve thought of this stuff on my daughter’s first Christmas. I always want to do crafts, but am never that organized and then time passes. I did manage to get a personalized ornament with her info and a personalized stocking her first year. Thanks for sharing.
