Steps:

  1. Mix together the oats, granola, cornflakes, and glitter
  2. Pour into a small snack sized ziplock bag
  3. Write the following poem on a piece of paper…  ”Sprinkle on the lawn at night.  The moon will make it sparkle bright.  As Santas reindeer fly and roam.  This will guide them to your home.”  I learned this cute poem from my daughters girlscout troop.

Christmas Tree Craft


Christmas Craft

It’s that time of year again!  I can’t believe it!  So here is the start of the holiday craft series.  Today is a simple Christmas Tree Craft that can easily be made into an ornament.  To make it an ornament, I would recommend using card stock instead of construction paper.  Then just hole punch the top and put a pretty ribbon through it.

Supplies:

  • Construction paper
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Beads
  • Glitter

Steps:

  1. Draw a tree shape
  2. Cut out the tree (or have your child cut it out, depending on their age)
  3. Make a design with the glue
  4. Shake glitter over it and empty on a paper plate or bowl
  5. Glue some beads or other pretty objects

Enjoy!
