Keeping Little Hands Busy Before Christmas

 Welcome

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Christmas holiday.

It's such a busy time of year and I put all of my time into celebrating with my littles and creating.  

I took some time off, hence my late post.

Here are some of the things we did before Christmas.

Cone Christmas Trees

I made a cone shape and glued it onto an old CD for stability.

The kids glued on lots of coloured circles.  

Rocking Rudolph

These cute little guys are a PRINTABLE.

Bottle Cap Tree

Keeping it simple for my very young little ones.

I glued bottle caps to the sheet of green paper and my little ones glued coloured circles into the lids.

Ornaments

A friend of mine gave me a bag of silk covered ornaments.  I added a sparkly pipe cleaner to the top as a hanger and the kids used lots of coloured pieces of tape to decorate them.

Santa's Little Workshop

Hello and Welcome.

Well the excitement of Christmas has definitely arrived at my house!

There was so much making going on this past week.  So fun for my little ones to want to create.

There are lots of things we did this week that I just can't show yet....it would spoil the surprise for their Moms and Dads!!

Anyways, here's some of what we did that they took home to decorate with.

Cone Santa

These Santas are very easy and fun to create.

Straw Christmas Trees

I bought some Christmas paper straws and we used them to make our little Christmas tree ornaments.

Glue the straws onto a popsicle stick, then when dry, cut into a tree shape.

Paper Bell

This simple bell was made with paper then I added a real metal bell to the inside.

Rudolph

These cute little reindeer were made with a paper tube.  I glued it closed at the top and the kids decorated them...so cute.  They proceeded to make a puppet show using them.
