Fun Holiday Kid Crafts

so in my spare time...

(i never sleep! too much fun stuff to do, so little time!)

I helped with one of our children's

school Christmas party last week & want to share some fun 

holiday activities with you. 

Snowman Ornament...

so cute & the kids loved making them!

all ya need is:

(juice, water...anything that would make a good snowman body)

• small cut pieces of white tissue paper

• small cut pieces of black tissue paper

• black buttons

• ribbon or fabric for the scarf

• photo of your child for the face

• orange felt (or construction paper) rolled & glued for the nose

• we also added a jingle bell to the hat & 

added a small cut piece of green raffia to make it look like a holly berry

• a loop of string for hanging on tree

to assemble:

• add a little water to some Elmer's glue and brush it on the bottle

one section at a time

• stick on the white tissue paper to the entire bottle

• stick on the black tissue paper to the lid

• glue on all of the details

(we used hot glue to make sure all the accessories stuck well)
