This is an adorable craft for an older child. 
Supplies Needed; Black, white and Orange pipe cleaners. Wiggly Eyes, glue, and wire cutters. Directions; Bend orange pipe cleaner in half and then twist pointed ends twice over to create feet. Use a black pipe cleaner and wind it around your index finger to create a spring like shape. Next cut a small section of white pipe cleaner and bend it over the top and bottom of your black pipe cleaner. Slide your black pipe cleaner over the pointed end of your orange pipe cleaner so that the white pipe cleaner sits between the penguins feet. Now bend the pointed end of your orange pipe cleaner over the top of your black pipe cleaner to create the penguins beak. Finally, glue on two wiggly eyes.

It is the longest day of the year, and generally happens on or around December 21st. Let’s make a Yule log filled with goodies. Read: “The Yule Lads: A Celebration of Iceland’s Christmas Folklore” by Brian Pilkington. These mischievous lads steal milk, and play tricks on the townsfolk. 
Materials needed: Paper towel roll, tissue paper, ribbons, pine cones, leaves, glue, goodies to fill the paper towel roll.
Directions: Let the children put glue on the outside of the paper towel roll. Give them precut pieces of tissue paper long enough to cover the roll and twist at the ends to keep the goodies inside. Twist one end, and fill the inside with treats. Twist the other end. Let the children decorate the top of the yule log with natural things like pinecones and leaves. Ribbons add a nice touch. 
Supplies Needed; 1 (8-in.) Green Cone-Shaped Styrofoam Form, 1 Package of Green Chenille Stems (Pipe cleaners), Wire Cutters or Utility Scissors, Dark Green Temper Paint, 1 Package Gum Drops Directions; Begin by painting your styrofoam cone dark green. Cut chenille stems in a variety of lengths. Insert the shorter stem pieces in the top of the form, and increase the stem lengths as you work down toward the base of the cone creating the christmas tree shape. As you work your way down, push different colored gum drops into the chenille stems. Cover the form with the chenille stems and gum drops. You can bend them in any direction you desire since no Christmas tree is perfect. When you are finished, print and cut out the star shape (see below). Place a 3" stem into the top of the tree. Glue the star (sandwich style) to the top stem.
