Here is a great craft for children who have recently moved. This will help them feel at ease, knowing that Santa would know where to find them. Supplies Needed; Electric tea light (we purchased them in packs of 4 at the local dollar store), print out of the house template (see below), and supplies to decorate your house.
Directions; Have children decorate their houses. Once decorated, assist them in cutting out their houses, then cut our the window holes and doors as designated. Then assist them in bending the paper on the dashed lines. Put glue on the tabs to form the roof ans back walls. When assembly is complete, place lit electric tea light inside house, to light the way for Santa. Which candy cane will dissolve first? |

Directions; Paint your paper plate red. Once dry, cut out the center of the plate. Cut out a hat shape and a circle shape with your red construction paper. Next, cut a black strip, about 2" wide. Finally, cut a yellow square with a square hole in the center, for the buckle of the hat. Glue on hat, stripe, buckle, and red circle to end of hat. Lastly, glue cotton balls along bottom half of plate, and on red circle.
Directions; Create an X shape with two full length pipe cleaners, twist the two together. Twist in one more pipe cleaner to create 6 equally length ends. Cut 4 gold pipe cleaners in thirds. Twist two gold pipe cleaners onto each white cleaner.
Directions; Allow children to add decorations to the template. they may also want to paint or color the page to makre it more festive.
