Spotlight on Christmas Papercrafting and Coloring Books

I love crafting during the holiday season as well as coloring with my sons. It's not only fun to make our own holiday cards and gifts, but coloring is definitely a way to unwind, which I always appreciate during the busy holiday season. Check out our new favorite coloring and craft books:

 

Santa's Kitty Helpers by Kayomi Harai and Cute Christmas Holiday Coloring Book by Jenny Newline - Both coloring books are so, so cute! You don't have to be an animal fan to enjoy it, but these cuddly creatures will definitely make you smile.  I'm loving all the cute puppies in the Cute Christmas Holiday coloring Book. Both books are really well made in that you can use gel pens, colored pencils or regular crayons and the color won't go through to the other pages. The back of each page has a heartwarming holiday quote and lines for writing your own message. My son has been tearing out the perforated pages and enjoying turning them into Christmas cards. Also, these even make for great Christmas gifts for adults too as coloring has proven to be beneficial and a stress reducer! Cute Christmas Holiday Coloring Book and Santa's Kitty Helpers Coloring Book are both available at Amazon. 

Christmas Papercrafting by Thaneeya McArdle is one of our new favorite craft books. We have been having so much fun with it! This book will guide you through making your own holiday cards, mini cards, gift tags and bookmarks.  The artwork is beautiful and the paper is very high quality card stock.  It even comes with templates to make your own envelopes. Everything you need for gorgeous homemade holiday gifts is included in the book including 34 pages of festive scrapbook paper.

We are giving some books as holiday gifts this year (big surprise) and my son and I have started to make bookmarks to give along with the book, which is such a nice homemade touch.  If you love crafting during the holidays, definitely check out this book. It's a fun way to spend an afternoon with your children or just de-stress and do some crafting of your own this holiday season. Get your copy of Christmas Papercrafting at Amazon today. 


Thanks to Fox Chapel Publishing for sending me this awesome Christmas package. I absolutely love sharing these books with my oldest son.  He loves coloring and the coloring books are a hit.
