Supplies Needed:
Cut slits where desired for the candy cane to slide through. You want them just big enough for the candy cane. Now it’s time to decorate. Pull out the candy cane and glue on a star and some ornaments. You can use Elmer’s Glue-All or hot glue depending on ages {and speed you want to go!}. Allow time for the glue to dry before inserting the candy cane again. These have to be the easiest and cutest ornaments we have ever made!
Supplies Needed; Green (round) ornaments), construction paper, glue, and wiggly eyes Directions; Cut 4 strips of construction paper, they should be 1/2" thick and about 5.5" long. Glue construction paper strips to across the center of the ornaments. Glue wiggly eyes to the front. Done! Supplies Needed:
2 Paper plates Black Pipe Cleaners Orange, black, and brown and colored paper Ribbon for Scarf 2 Wiggly Eyes Red Pompom Glue Directions: Glue the two plates together to make your basic snowman. From the scraps of card cut a mouth and a circle for buttons, and glue these to your snowman. Glue on your wiggly eyes, and red pompom nose. Twist your pipe cleaners into arms, and glue them to your snowman. Cut a black hat and glue it to your snowman's head, and hang your snowman on the wall for all to enjoy. Supplies: 9-inch Paper Plate, Green and Brown Paint, decorations for your tree, Glue, Card Stock or Toilet Paper Tube
Directions: To make the tree trunk use a toilet paper tube so it is six inches long and paint it brown. If you don't have a paper towel tube, you can use card stock. Cut the card stock so it is 6 inches by 8.5 inches and roll it into a tube and glue the side closed. To make the top of the tree paint a paper plate green and let it dry. Roll the paper plate into a cone shape as shown in the picture above. Glue it closed where it overlaps with a low glue. Glue the "tree trunk" inside the top of the tree. To finish glue sequins, pompoms, glitter, or gems on the tree to decorate. Read: “Nutcracker” by E.T.A. Hoffman, Maurice Sendak, Ralph Manheim Materials needed: construction paper, scissors, glue, blank calendar, yarn.
Directions: Cut out ovals and squares. Have the children write the dates of the December calendar. Glue the Christmas bulb over each number. (Be sure to only glue the top edge so it can be removed easily.) Glue the yarn over and between each Christmas tree bulb. Add glitter for fun. This is a fun and creative project to do with older school-age children, as a gift to share with co-workers, or families. Use caution when handling the glue-gun, and keep it out of reach of young children. Supplies need; Candy canes (we used 18 small, but large will work too, just be sure to lay out your candy canes to figure out how many you will need), "starlight mints", festive ribbon, glue gun or modgepodge.
Directions; Glue your candy canes into heart shapes, as seen below, with a little glue at the crook and a little at the base where the ends meet. Once you have all the heart shapes you will need to create a circle, start gluing them together at the sides. When you have completed the entire circle, allow it to dry. Once dry, reinforce the back with extra glue. After the reinforcement is dry, turn the wreath back over and glue the "starlight mints" to the base of each of your heart shapes, or as many as your inner area will allow. Take about 10" of ribbon and tie it into a bow. Glue the bow where you think it would look best for your wreath. Finally take another 4" inches of ribbon and tie it into a loop. Slip the loop over two of the crooks in your wreath and you are finished. *If you remove your candy canes from their plastic coating, you may want to spray them with shellac when you are finished. |
