Color popsicle sticks with green marker or use pre colored popsicle sticks to make it easier. Glue them together in a triangle shape like the shape of a Christmas tree. Glue berries or beads onto the popsicle sticks. Tie a ribbon on top and hang on your tree.  Supplies Needed; Paper Plate, pipe cleaner, pompom, orange and pink construction paper, 2 wiggly eyes, black pen, and glue
Directions; Using construction paper, cut out out 2 pink circles and one orange triangle. Bend pipe cleaner and glue it to the top of your plate. Glue pompoms to either end of the pipe cleaner. Glue on wiggly eyes, nose, and pink circles for cheeks. Once glue is dry, use black pen to draw mouth.  Supplies Needed; Print out of Swinging Elf (swinging elf), about 2' of yarn (any color will do), crayons or markers, glue, scissors and one popsicle stick. Directions; Decorate your Santa. Cut out your Santa. Glue the bottom of the Santa to the popsicle stick. Tie about 1' of yarn to each side of the Santa. Place the yarn upwards (towards Santa's hat). Add a drop of glue to Santa's hand silhouette, lay the yarn through the glue and across Santa's hand silhouette. Place the fist cut outs over the glue drops, so they line up with the fist silhouette.   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.
