In my house, we can barely make it through Thanksgiving without Christmas ornaments already breaking one way or another. I can expect this with a 1-year-old and a 3-year-old, but it doesn’t make it any less frustrating when it happens. Not to mention the scramble to clean up every last shard of glass before it goes straight into my 1-year-old’s mouth or through my 3-year-old’s foot. That’s why we are 100 percent guilty of being the family who doesn’t put ornaments on the bottom third of the tree, but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t make me a little crazy every time I look at it. So we’re trying something new this year by decorating the whole tree, with the bottom third made up of unbreakable Christmas ornaments that the kids can touch (because let’s be honest, they’re going to get touched whether they’re breakable or not).

If you’re looking for kid-friendly (but no less chic) shatterproof ornaments to adorn your tree, scroll down to shop more than 30 of our favorites.

A guaranteed way to ensure ornaments won’t break? Get them in fabric instead of harder materials. Not only are these unbreakable ornaments, but they’re full of personality. This means you can show off your family’s individuality in a way that’s fun and easy.
