Hello and Welcome
We have started to work on our Countdown to Christmas.
Lot of fun creating and soon making gifts for all the Moms and Dads.
My kids love making surprises for their parents, so we will be having lots of fun coming up!
So here's what we did this week.
Santa Countdown Clock
I printed off a clock face then found this Santa holding the sign and glued them together onto some
cardboard to help sturdy it up.
Now each day, the kids can turn the hand of the clock for the countdown.
Santa Shakers
I used some heavy white cardstock to create our little Santa shakers.
I cut a rectangle shape with the white paper, rolled and glued into a tube shape. Next, we decorated them using some pieces of felt. I then pinched the top together and glued with a glue gun. We filled the shakers with rice then I glued the bottom shut. Finally, we added a large wood stick to the bottom for the handle.
Christmas Wreath
We created this simple wreath by gluing green paper strips onto a cardboard circle.
I cut some felt circles to add as the berries and then we glued on a bow.
Craft Stick Star
I simply hot glued some craft sticks together to create a star shape.
The kids coloured them and then we added some glitter glue.
Paper Chain
Simple paper chain made with strips of paper that were decorated with some coloured tape.
Little Christmas Trees
Simple accordion folded trees then glued into a paper tube base.
We decorated them with little piece of felt.
Little Village
These were a big hit!
We coloured the little houses and trees and glued them onto an old CD as the base.
We added some fluffy snow and then added a tea light through the hole in the middle of the CD.
So cute.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
