One of the best things about this free paper Christmas village is how customisable it is!
There are a massive nine designs of houses in different sizes and shapes for kids to choose from!
Plus, the free template includes loads of extra pieces too, including a church, Christmas trees, a snowman, a cotton candy stall, lamp posts and even Santa’s sleigh to decorate your village!
Kids can mix and match the houses and holiday decor, arranging them in their own ways to make their village look exactly how they want.
The free printable template gives so many possibilities for a creative, colourful and unique Christmas display!
Light Up Your Paper Christmas Village
Your paper Christmas village will be a wonderful way to decorate the mantlepiece, shelf or table just as it is. However, if you fancy going all out for special occasions why not illuminate it too?
Get an adult to use a craft knife on a cutting mat to cut out the windows. You could glue coloured tissue paper to the back too if you fancy. The next step is simply to add a few battery LED tea lights behind the houses to make them glow with warmth and holiday cheer!
If you really want to go the whole hog, you could add a sprinkling of fake snow or bio glitter too!
