My daughter got to make 3 super cute Christmas crafts last week thanks to my new friend and craft queen, Shanna. So, here they are... and easy enough to do today!
Icing Christmas tree... edible decoration (your's WILL look prettier... keep in mind she's under 2)
Supplies: ice cream cones, can of white icing, green food coloring, candy ornaments (marshmallows, m&m's, sweettarts, smarties, gumdrops, redhots, sprinkles, etc.)
1. Mix food coloring with icing to make it green
2. turn the cone upside down on a plate
3. spread icing all over the cone
4. decorate the tree with candy
5. enjoy... my daughter takes an ornament off everytime she passes it
Lid ornaments... full of kitschy charm
Supplies: lid from old container, school glue, random baubles (sequins, buttons, beads, noodles, crayons etc.)
1. fill a lid with glue up to the top.
2. place sequins, buttons, etc. in the glue
3. allow to dry completely
4. poke a hole through the top
5. tie with ribbon
Detergent Snowman... cute and he smells good too
Supplies: detergent, cloves, sticks, sequins or buttons, toothpicks
1. mix dry flake detergent with water to make a paste
2. let your child roll 3 balls, big, medium, and small (paste dries quickly so work fast)
3. use a toothpick to keep the balls together
4. let your child decorate him: dried cloves as the eyes, pre-gathered sticks for arms, sequins or buttons for buttons, etc.
