Simple Ways to Celebrate Christmas with Kids
Want an easy yet cool way to boost your Christmas fun with kids? Try these printable surprise cards!
Are you new to surprise cards? If you're not familiar with these types of paper crafts, simple surprise cards open up to reveal a hidden image or theme. The picture on the cover of the card is split in half and connected on the inside with a different image.
My boys are obsessed with making these cards! We first found surprise cards through Art for Kids Hub. Xman and Bear (my two younger boys) have had a blast making these cards to give to friends and family members, as well as just because.
Since the boys enjoy these drawing and coloring activities (and our free printable Halloween surprise cards) so much, I knew these printable Christmas cards for kids with fun surprises would be awesome additions to our holiday fun collection.

Fun Ways to Make and Enjoy These Surprise Cards
There are so many ways for your students to enjoy these cards with hidden surprises.
I suggest printing the cards on white cardstock. Your Christmas cards will be more durable and your kids can write messages on the back that won't show through 😉
Take a look through all 12 styles of these cards. Your child can pick out their favorite one and begin with it.
Chat about your child's ideas for how to color their card. OR let them loose and get creative!
Another idea is to make a card for your child. Include a gift card or DIY coupon (for example, for movie night or later bedtime).
These printable Christmas cards for kids are also perfect for:
- Christmas party (just like our Christmas party poppers!)
- Community events (for example, have copies at your library)
- Christmas homeschool fun activities
- Special ways to show friends and family you're thinking of them
Recommended Materials For Making These Cards
I suggest that you have these supplies to make it easier to get started:
White cardstock
Scissors
Crayons
Color pencils
Fine-tip markers
Small Christmas stickers
Washi tape (optional to keep card closed)
