Easy Christmas Crafts

My son made a popsicle sled ornament in elementary school one Christmas.

There's always the old Rudolph candy canes- just twist brown pipe cleaners (cut in half) around the curve of the cane for antlers, glue on googly eyes and a small red pom pom nose (can get at crafts store or use a cinnamon candy decor). Can jazz these up with ribbon/pipe cleaner "scarves" too.

Or- cut two large mittens out of construction paper.
Have glitter, scraps, markers etc. to decorate. Make sure child's name is on them. Punch holes and string them together with about 10" of yarn- cute tree decoration. Can make for every family member and pets too.

Bring me back to my Brownie leader days! Cherish this time >^..^<

i still have an ornament that my 19 year old son made in preschool that was adorable. You can find the solid christmas bulbs, black paint on a plate and have the children place both hands on the paint and then hold their hands and have them put each one on either side of the bulb...so you have their handprint forever emblazoned on a Christmas bulb..paint the childs name and the year on each side..its great!! You may want to put a sealant on it! A clear glaze coat in a spraycan...
