Merry Christmas!!

 Merry Christmas

Such a busy time of year but I have to say, my kiddos had a blast creating surprises for their parents and family.  We sure kept busy as you will see.

So here's what we did.

The stockings were hung!

Paper Cup Rudolph

Paper Cup Santa

Gingerbread Houses

Gingerbread Men

We glued 2 pieces of brown paper together and stuffed them to make our Gingerbread Men.

Simple Trees

Santa Ornament

Jingle Bells

We wrapped a glitter pipe cleaner around a large popsicle stick, adding the bells as we wrapped.

Filling Santa's Sack

Gifts for the Parents

Simple Bookmarks

We made these using some contact paper and punched dots.

Wreath Ornaments

Cork Tags

We used a cork for the head and I used their fingerprints for the ears.

Santa Ornaments

We decorated some old CD's to create these fun ornaments.

Clothespin Rudolph

Snowmen

I cut the bottom of a water bottle off for the heads and we stuffed them with some white pompoms.

Added the details and hanger for the tree.

Clothespin Stars

Calendar

My baby needed to have something for the parents, so we traced her foot and hands to create this fun calendar.

Gum Ball Machine Ornaments

I hot glued this plastic ornament to a red cup.  We removed the hanger part and the kids added some peppermint M & M's.  After all the candy is gone, they can add some colourful pom poms or fill it with more candy next year.

The kids loved these little Christmas trees.

 Hello and Welcome

We worked on a fun theme last week with lots of creating and fun.

We learned about Outer Space and also did a few robot crafts just for the fun of it.

Astronaut

We made these fun little astronaut puppets using a paper plate for the helmet.

Rockets

We made our rockets using a paper tube.
