I feel like every holiday craft should be kid-friendly! There’s nothing better than sitting around a table with young minds and hands and crafting up some holiday cheer. This poinsettia ornament is the kinda craft that will inspire your entire fam to do just that because it’s super-simple and easy enough for even the youngest elf to tackle.

The red part of the poinsettia is a leaf. It’s not the petal of a flower. In this craft, I will refer to them as the leaf.
