Here are some wonderful Christmas crafts that will WOW your preschooler(and older kids too if they like!)
1.Snowman Christmas cards
Glue a snowman cut-out to the front of a construction paper card. After decorating the snowman, attach the poem below and a small packet of hot chocolate or apple cider to the inside of the card. Have your child tape a candy cane to the front of the card for the snowman's cane.
Here's a little snowman soup
Complete with stirring stick
Add hot water and sip it slow
It's sure to do the trick
2.Christmas Wreath
Cut out the center of a white paper plate and paint the outer part of the plate green. Glue trios of Cheerios cereal to the wreath. When the glue is dry, dip a paint brush in red paint and dab over the cheerios so they resemble holly berries. Glue on a gift bow to the bottom of the wreath.
3.Milk carton Gingerbread Houses
Supplies Needed:
White icing(store bought or a recipe)
empty, clean 2L milk cartons
graham cracker squares
decorations:a variety of candies, sprinkles, etc.
Have all of your decorations, candies etc. in individual bowls. Prepare white icing/frosting if you are not using store bought.
Cut your milk carton in half width-wise and staple the tops closed. Cut each milk carton to make one or two doors. Secure the milk carton with the white icing onto a paper plate or a sheet of wax paper on top of cardboard. Attach graham cracker squares to sides of milk carton by spreading a thin layer of icing on the milk carton and pressing cracker firmly onto carton. Do the same for the roof. For the area between the sides and roof, cut a graham cracker in half on the diagonal to form a triangle and attach the same way.
Once you have your sides and roof attached, use icing to attach decorations and candies to your house. To see a photo of this gingerbread house craft visit my website below.
