Christmas Lacing Cards
These Christmas Lacing Cards are the perfect way to combine holiday fun and learning. What I love about lacing cards is that they help children work on their fine motor skills as well as their concentration.
For more Christmas Printables, look at this list of free Christmas Worksheets for Kids.
You can print out your lacing cards and have fun with these Christmas-themed printouts while practicing fine motor skills. The holidays are just around the corner, and I love this time. Right after Halloween, we’re all about Christmas.
Truth be told, I’m all about any holiday. If you’ve been following along with the blog for a while, you know I have a ton of amazing holiday variety for every season and holiday of the year.
We love to print these out and have them on hand for our Christmas travels or when we’re running errands around town. The lacing cards are a great way to add a little focus and creativity during a time that feels a bit chaotic and busy.

What are the symbols of Christmas?
Christmas is filled with symbols that bring joy and meaning to the holiday season. From twinkling lights and colorful ornaments to the iconic Christmas tree and jolly Santa Claus, these symbols evoke a sense of magic and excitement.
- Christmas Tree – Decorated with lights and ornaments, the Christmas tree serves as the focal point of holiday traditions, symbolizing the warmth and the joy of giving. Why not try this fizzy baking soda Christmas Tree experiment? Kids love exciting science experiments.
- Santa – What would Christmas be without Santa? Santa Claus, dressed in his red suit and sporting a white beard, represents the joy of generosity and the excitement of receiving gifts. Explore these Santa Claus crafts, which focus on the beloved figure in red. These activities offer children a fun opportunity to learn about Santa’s traditions while enjoying crafts and games.
- Snowman – The snowman, often built with a carrot nose and coal eyes, represents the fun and creativity of winter play. Kids will enjoy creating their own snowmen with these Build a Snowman Worksheets that highlight this winter icon. It’s a playful way to get into the holiday spirit and practice fine motor skills.
- Reindeer – Try out some fun with reindeer-themed activities. Whether it’s coloring or these Reindeer STEM Activities, kids can learn about these creatures and their important role in the holiday season.
- Other symbols, like gingerbread houses and stockings by the fireplace, contribute to the festive atmosphere as well.
Letting kids know these symbols during your lessons and activities can create a delightful and memorable experience, keeping the magic of Christmas alive.

Benefits of Lacing Cards
My daughter still loves working on lacing activities. It uses their fine motor skills and requires some patience. I have found that once we do it together a couple of times, she has the confidence to take off and start working on them independently.
One of the best parts of learning with your child is that you can also watch them grow in their confidence.
As your child becomes more independent, they’ll be able to do these lacing cards independently. They’ll love knowing that this is a project they can start and finish and not feel overly stressed or worried about it being too complicated.
How to use the Christmas-themed Lacing Cards?
We tend to do lacing cards at all times of the year, and we love having lacing cards that are as festive as the holidays we’re celebrating or looking forward to celebrating.
Print these out onto cardstock, laminate them, and then you can hole punch them to use with your kids. These are super easy to make your own, and my kids love playing with them since they like the challenge.
I highly recommend laminating them if you are traveling for the holiday season. They are so handy to just stick in your bag or purse and use them whenever you have some time that you need to pass.
Sitting in waiting rooms, traveling in the car long distances, or even just as a way to unwind after a busy day of family fun, these lacing cards are a great way to keep children engaged and busy learning.

Christmas Fine Motor Activity Supplies
You’ll need the following supplies to get these lacing cards printed and ready to go.

I have the HP printer 8710, but it’s not available anymore. It’s been running well for years now. Look for another HP Instant Ink-ready printer so that you can use their program to send you ink cartridges whenever your printer gets low on ink.
