Making Christmas ornaments is a fun part of the holidays. My son isn’t the crafty type, so I have to get a bit creative! This year I chose a baby memory ornament. No glue, no popsicle sticks, no paint just a beautiful reminder of our family. What I didn’t realize was how wonderful an activity this baby memory ornament would be for us. Start a simple family tradition this holiday season and create a memory ornament.
I was inspired here to see how we could make our own baby memory ornament! Making homemade ornaments is a pretty traditional family holiday activity, but what happens when you don’t have a crafts loving kid? I don’t push having to make an ornament, but I do want to find a way for us to create some sort of family memory together. This simple baby memory ornament is perfect for little hands to create while sharing family time together. I am also partnering with The Resourceful Mama to bring you 30 Days of Handmade Ornaments.
Supplies:
Refillable plastic ornament
Memory items to fill ornament
Create a memory ornament for a simple family holiday tradition!
I am pretty sure all of us have a baby box full of goodies perfect for a baby memory ornament! Has your child looked through his or her baby box? We had a really neat experience together going through his baby box the other morning. He had tons of questions and it was fun to share memories.
We didn’t have as many small memories as I thought I might find in the box. I kept our wristbands from our time in the hospital. You might include a pair of socks, hat, bib, or some other memorabilia. We ket our baby memory ornament quick and simple {what my son likes best}.
I had baby boy themed confetti from a card I opened at my baby shower that he put in his baby memory ornament. Then he stuffed the wristbands in to it. At this point he wanted to see a baby picture of himself wearing the bracelet since I told him he wore it around his ankle.
I had tucked away some pretty ribbon in our memory box. We made a tie for our baby memory ornament out of one of them and added the other to the ball. Throw in a dash of glitter if you like for sparkle!
A perfect, easy kid made ornament and family memory to last a lifetime.

I love this idea! I also have a non-crafty child. I think he would enjoy finding things and adding them. Thank you for participating in the series.
