Holiday Crafts!

Courtesy of enchantedlearning.com, I found some fun holiday activities for your kids to do with you! First up is the Paper Bag Reindeer Puppet.

To make the puppet, all you need is:

Paper bags Deep red (or another color) construction paper Glue Scissors Markers or crayons Optional - googly eyes

Trace two hands on construction paper. Cut them out. These will be the reindeer's antlers.

Fold the two square edges of a paper bag under (at the dotted lines), to form the reindeer's head.

You now have the shape of the reindeer's head for the puppet.

Glue, tape, or staple the handprints behind the reindeer's head. Cut out eyes from construction paper (or glue on googly eyes). Using red paper, cut out and glue on a large red nose. Glue them to the reindeer's face. Draw a mouth with a marker or crayons.

Second up, is the Paper Wreath from Little Hand Prints.

For This you will need:

A lot of green construction paper A piece of red construction paper or a red ribbon Pencil Scissors Glue Optional: Glitter or glitter glue

Trace the child's hand on a piece of green construction paper. Cut out the hand print. Make about 10 paper hands for each wreath.

Glue the hand prints together in a wreath shape, with the wrists overlapping a little bit.

Glue on a red ribbon bow (or make one from red construction paper). Optional: Decorate your wreath with glitter or glitter glue.
