Our 4 year old had his first day of preschool at his new school yesterday. He does not have school on Fridays so he can join in with our 2 year old and 1 year old and make some crafts with us.
With it being Christmastime, I decided we would do some very easy Christmas crafts. I chose some easy ones, mainly due to the fact that I was not planning to do crafts with the kids today, but on a whim decided to. Another reason why I chose some easy crafts is because I had to work with what I already had on hand in our craft cabinet. One of these crafts, you may recognize if you have been following my blog for some time. It is one I do every year with our kids. The other craft is something I was inspired to do with something I saw on Pinterest.
1. Christmas Lights Craft
For this craft you will need:
- Paint
- White Paper (I used printer paper)
- Black marker
2. Christmas Tree with Fingerprint Ornaments
For this craft you will need:
-Construction paper
-Brown crayon
-Glue stick
-Scissors
-Paint
(I apologize the picture of the supplies I used is a little blurry)
I think Liam, Lucas, and Leliana all had fun making these crafts. I hope the kids in your life have fun making these crafts.
These crafts will also add a nice touch to your Christmas decoratons as well! I love hanging up the Christmas crafts on the walls as part of our Chrsitmas decorations!

ReplyDeleteAwww the finger print ornaments are cute. We honestly don't have time for crafts anymore. But I got the kids to decorate the tree yesterday. The little one eventually had a tantrum and hit her eyebrow on the side of the table....
ReplyDeleteI love Fridays too because it means I get to spend time with my sons. It is really the highlight of my week.
