Crafting with your kids is a lot of fun! It’s a great time for them to use their creativity and imagination! We always really enjoy making fun crafts that relate to the current season or Holiday. With Christmas right around the corner, we are in full swing around here with crafting 🙂 I thought it would be fun to take our mind off the hustle and bustle and get our hands dirty, literally!
Here’s what you’re going to need:
- construction paper
- craft paint, paint brush
- googly eyes
- pom pom balls, or similar
- hot glue gun and glue
- white crayon
I started by letting my son pick his page colors, he chose green and yellow. Paint the entire hand with brown paint. Expect giggles and wiggles. Christian is so ticklish, love those little laughs 🙂 Have them spread their fingers and firmly press the hand onto the page. Let dry and glue on the googly eyes and pom pom balls. Christian wanted to make both of his pictures Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, so we glued red poms for the nose and green on what’s to be the antlers! We added a small piece of MERRY CHRISTMAS washi tape at the bottom, too! It was Christian’s idea to use a white crayon to make snowflakes around the page, and it looks so cute! He made one for us and one for our Nana and I know she’ll just love it!
What fun crafts do you like to do with your kids during the Holidays?
Cute idea! I will have to store this one away for when the baby is older. Love your DIY’s and your little blurb about your self cracks me up. My husband ALWAYS tells me I have “champagne tastes on a beer budget”. And unfortunately it is so true!
