Free Printable Christmas Glasses!

I’m joining some of my favourite bloggers to share some fabulous Christmas Sensory play ideas!

Each week, Childhood101, Nurture Store, Babble Dabble Do, Meri Cherry, Toddler Approved and I will be sharing a range of activities to inspire you to explore the holiday season through your senses!

This week we are focussing on the sense of sight, and when I think of seeing I always think of our free printable crazy glasses, and so I thought it was time for some printable Christmas glasses!

To make your own pair of crazy Christmas glasses so you can see the world through Christmassy eyes you’ll need:

• Our Free printable Christmas glasses template.
• Some sturdy card to print them on (we use matte photo paper)
• Scissors
• Tape or glue.
• Something to decorate your glasses with – we used markers, tape and glue.

You can download the free template for the Christmas tree glasses here.

And you can download the free template for the star glasses here.

Both templates are A4 pdf files. If you are using US ‘letter sized’ paper make sure you choose ‘fit’ or ‘shrink to fit’ from your printer options.

Once you’ve printed out the templates, simply cut out the pieces, fold over the flaps at the end of the arms and tape or glue them to the frames.

The glasses are sized to fit medium sized heads. If the wearer has little head simply shorten the arms by folding over a little more at the end and trimming off the extra. If the wearer has a particularly big head you might need to cut out the arms with a little extra length added.

Now it’s time to decorate, and since it’s Christmas we had to break out the glitter!

These would look great with sequins or stars too, or trying collaging them with tissue paper! You could also add coloured cellophane to the frames so you could look at the world through Christmas coloured lenses!
