This Christmas printables idea is a keepsake everyone will remember and cherish!
This is a sweet idea that I remember from when I was little. We would tie a ribbon that was our height in a bow and put it in a baggie or a box with a little note.
I thought it would be fun to make this into a holiday craft for kids. It would be great to do this in class!
Update: This has been updated for the year 2020.
It comes with a red and green option. Your choice!
Print the printable right here.
Updated for 2023!!!
Just print, cut and punch a whole at the top. Then, let the kids sign the bottom. Measure a string or ribbon to their height and tie it at the top.
Isn’t it sweet?
I also have a bunch of awesome Elf On The Shelf printables! You can check them out here. I love the naughty notice to help kids with bad behavior. And there is a note for being good as well!

Liz is a just a mom trying to keep it real about how little she sleeps, how often she gets puked on and how much she loves them. You can find her here every day writing about real-mom moments.
Hi, this is an awesome idea but it says 2018, not 2017.
I thought the same thing- saw she changed it to 2017 😊
Good evening l was wondering if the Christmas ribbon baubles will be updated for 2022. Thanks
Thank you! We have two new grandchildren since the end of October, and I think this is a GREAT idea! Do you have one with a blank date ie.: 20___ So we can add the years to the template each year!
Thanks again!

I agred with Joe!
Yes please!! Also can you put 4 on a page or are they too big to fit?
What a great idea! Is there any way to edit this? I would like to add each child’s name before printing.
Thanks for the great resource!
I agree with Marti!
Is there a way to edit the year, so we can in the future?
Love this , thanks!
How can I save it and use it for other years
Hey Liz!
Thanks for the printable ornament. Not sure what application you used to make this, but it would be awesome if the year was fillable by us. If you do not have a way of making a fillable PDF and want to send me the file you used or a pdf without the year filled in already, i can make it and send it back to you.
I like this post very cute for kids
Could you make the document so that 4 ornaments can be printed at one time?
Liz – any chance you would make the year editable for future ornaments? Barbara
I adore these! Would you make a printable not including the year (so it could be written). I want to go back to my daughter’s first Christmas in 2013 ❤️
Could you make one with ghe 2018 template?? Would love to use this next year with my students! Great idea!
Any chance you could post the 2016 ornament version? I wanted to make one for my sister whose daughter passed away in 2016. Wanted to include her too. Thanks!
Love this idea. We will be having a new grandbaby in 2018. I also would like the template so I can edit it with name and date
I was looking for ideas for Christmas decorations. Thanks for this unique idea.

Most of these engines are very technologically savvy on the frontend, meaning they’ve got really good search engines and crisp UIs [user interfaces] and lots of interesting things there; but on the backend, they’re actually pretty primitive.

Have you done these for this year please
Hi!! Are you able to make a black and white version so its able to be printed on card stock? Thanks!!
Would love to have for my class
I love your idea and agree with the other comments that it would be great to have 4 on a page, have the year blank so it can be filled in and also to have a b/w version so the kids can colour their bauble in. If you do make the edits, please could you email it to me? Thanks.
May I ask how you tied the string? I’m doing this right now and the string is 29 inches and I don’t know how to get it shorter like yours?
How do you tie the cord?
Hi, when clicking on the link to print it flashes the image but then goes blank so I can’t print it.
I missed this for 2017, is there anyway you can email me one that says 2017 on it?
What about 2019?
Do you have a new printable ornament for 2019?
Love this idea!! Thanks
do you have 2019 that I can print?
Yes, Please either make a blank dated one so we can fill in the year, or can you update for 2019? Would love to start doing this with my son! What a sweet memory.
Hi I love the ribbon babbles . Could I have the 2019 version please 🙂 thanks
Could the printable be updated for 2019 please? Love it! x
Any way to get the ornament printable for 2019? 🙂
Will you be making a 2020 version at all?
Love this idea! Please could you update this to 2020 or even leave the date blank? Thank you
Do you have ornaments dated 2020?
Can you make one for 2020 please
When you click on the link for this print, the icon flashes but then becomes blank so I can’t print it. I like your idea and agree with the other comments that it would be great to put 4 on one page, to clear the year so that it can be filled, and also to give the Abbey version so that the children can add their own bowl. Be able to color I also want the template so I can edit it with the name and date. Not sure what application you used it for, but it would be amazing if this year was unforgettable for us.
So many awesome printables! I am pinning like crazy! Thanks for including some of mine too!
Please update to 2021
need this updated for 2021
Thank you for this cute idea. Is there anyway you can update the year, 2021, on the printable ornament? Thank you.
Will you offer an updated 2021 option?
you have not updated the date on the ornament.
Will you be able to change it to 2021 now?
I’ve used these for the last few years.
Hi will this be updated for 2021?
hi. Please visit our interesting website.
I also need 2021! Could you make them for the next few years? I’ve been using these since my daughter was born! I love them and I love looking at how much she’s grown from year to year!
Love this idea, but it is for 2020. DO you have one for 2021
I love this for our preschool children as a Christmas Take Home. I was wondering in if you had an updated PDF for 2022 or at least p PDF you could make editable.
I would be interested in this too for Christmas 2022!
Can we get an updated one for 2022?
Hello will this be updated for 2022? I’ve been using this since my little one was born 😊
Any way you can email me or I can access the one for 2021? I missed printing it for my daughter being pregnant and all 🙁 I have been printing them since she was born in 2018
