Here I have the second book in what will eventually end up being twenty books in The Spirit of Christmas books when I'm done. They came every summer and I loved them all, probably because they came every summer. I can cool down just looking through them. This particular one has a section "Just for Kids", with things like:

Just for kids tree
Name Ornaments
Giant Candies
Wind Sock Ornaments
Crayon Crackers
Folded Paper Ornaments and
Snowpeople

Sounds fun, and my kids are grown.

A reminder that women of my mother's generation invested an enormous amount of time and energy in making the holidays memorable for their children and grandchildren. As guilty as I feel about this, I probably won't try making any of the ornaments, decorations, or recipes in this 1988 book.
