Christmas

Christmas crafts, activities, and t-shirt ideas

I found this cute Christmas mouse footprint idea on Pinterest. Love how cute they turned out even though my kinderkats' feet could pass for Christmas rats. ;)

Here are a few ornaments made this year...pipe cleaner/beaded candy cane ordered from oriental trading, Christmas tree made from large wooden craft sticks (I call them tongue depressors), and a Rudolph made from an old school clothes pin ordered from oriental trading company.

Above, we made candy canes using our fingerprints; snowflake ornaments from notched Popsicle sticks that were hot glued together then we painted them white and added glitter; handprint snowman ornament with poem; for the Christmas trees, I cut out a pattern from poster board and sent them 

home for the kids to decorate for homework; we made cute little reindeer from our pictures and 

handprints. If you have a student who doesn't celebrate commercial Christmas, they can make a plain deer with a black nose.
