No Mess Holiday Activity That Actually Works (Trust Me!)
The holiday season is magical, but let's be honest—crafting with kids can sometimes feel more stressful than festive. Between the glue spills, the scissors mishaps, and the inevitable meltdowns, holiday activities don't always go as planned.
That's why I'm so excited to share a game-changing discovery: SOE Studio's Paper Chain Kits.

What Makes These Paper Chains Special?
If you're familiar with @soestudio.design, you already know they create some of the most adorable wrapping paper and stationery around. But their Paper Chain Kits? They're next-level holiday magic.
Here's what sets them apart:
1. Ridiculously Easy to Use
Forget fumbling with tiny pieces of paper, glue sticks, and tape. These kits feature:
Large paper pieces that are easy to handle
Peel-and-stick adhesive — no glue, no tape, no mess
Simple instructions that even the youngest crafters can follow
Literally just peel, loop, and stick. That's it.
2. Perfect for ALL Ages and Abilities
This is what really makes my heart happy. The thoughtful design means:
Toddlers can do it without frustration
Older kids can work independently
Adults actually enjoy the process (it's oddly satisfying!)
Children and adults with disabilities can participate fully thanks to the large pieces and easy-peel stickers
Inclusivity in holiday crafts? Yes, please!
3. Gorgeous Designs
SOE Studio
doesn't do anything halfway. These paper chains feature their signature charming illustrations and beautiful color palettes. The end result doesn't look like a "kid craft"—it looks like intentional, stylish holiday decor you'll actually want to display.
Why Your Family Needs This
For Parents: This is the stress-free holiday activity you've been searching for. Set the kids up at the table, and they can actually complete this on their own while you tackle your to-do list (or just sit down for five minutes with your coffee).
For Kids:
They get the satisfaction of creating something beautiful and the pride of decorating the house themselves. Plus, the repetitive peel-and-stick motion is genuinely fun and even calming.
For Quality Time:
Want to make it a family activity? These kits are perfect for a cozy evening together—put on a holiday movie, make some hot cocoa, and create chains as a family.
The Extra Holiday Magic
There's something special about paper chains. They're nostalgic, cheerful, and transform a space instantly. Drape them across doorways, wrap them around the tree, hang them from the mantel—the possibilities are endless.
And because these are so easy to make, kids can create multiple chains without getting tired or frustrated. More chains = more magic!
