My neighbor is the room mom for her daughter’s school class. These I Spy ornaments are one of the crafts that they are doing for their class Christmas party.

She came over and asked me to make a printable that she could put on the ornaments so the kids know what they are looking for.  I was so impressed with this cute and fun I Spy Christmas idea, that I readily agreed and asked if I could share this idea with you. 🙂

Of course she said yes, and I am so excited to show you how easy and fun these I Spy Christmas ornaments are to make!

I have made more than a dozen of these I Spy Christmas ornaments this week because I am going to give them to my nursery class for Christmas.

At church, I teach the 2 & 3-year-olds. They are darling and very energetic. There are 14 of them, and I love giving them a little gift for Christmas.

They are going to love these I Spy Christmas ornaments! And their parents will love that it’s not candy. Win!

You can easily find all the supplies for these I Spy Christmas ornaments at your local craft store. And honestly, it is cheaper to buy all the supplies from a craft store, because they are usually on sale this time of year. (I got all my supplies for 40-50% off at Micheals.) But just in case you want to get them online, I have attached some links here. (These are my affiliate links. You can read more about that here.)

And good news! There is a blank I Spy Christmas tag that you can download below. If you can’t find all the things that I put inside my ornament, or you want to change it up, you totally can!)

How to make your I Spy Christmas Ornament

First, take the top off your clear Christmas ornament. (At my craft store, there were 3 sizes of clear, plastic ornaments. I like the medium- sized ornament the best. The small one is too small, and the large one is too heavy after you put in all the sugar.)

Put all the I Spy items inside the ornament (tree, bow, bell, ornament, candy cane, present).

Next, cover all the mini Christmas I Spy items with granulated sugar. Put in enough sugar so that the ornament is about 75% full.

I found that about 7/8 cup of sugar was perfect. If you put too much in, the kids will have a hard time finding all the items and it will be super heavy.

My neighbor tried using salt instead of sugar, and it made the ornament significantly heavier. We decided that granulated sugar is perfect: it’s cheap and it looks like snow! 🙂

Now you need to glue the top of your ornament on. Put some hot glue all the way around the top of the ornament so that sugar can’t leak out and the kids can’t accidentally pop the top off of the ornament and spill the sugar.

If needed, add a few drops of glue to the top of the ornament hook. I noticed that there were holes here on my ornaments so I covered them with glue, just to ensure that no sugar can slip out.

And no worries if this is a little messy. You are going to hide it all with a pretty bow. 🙂

Now it’s time to add the tags.

I laminated the I Spy tags, so that they stay nice through the years. Attach the tags with some pretty, festive ribbon for the final touch!
