Wow December went by fast this year! Here is a summary of all of our fun holiday crafts and ideas!
Welcome to Santa’s Workshop! I Made this banner with the help of my assistant teacher. Then I hung lights around the sign. The kids love it when I turn off the lights and the Christmas lights light up the entire room. I also have elf hats, reindeer headbands, Santa hats, wrapping paper, tape, ribbon, boxes, bags, tags, tissue paper, various Christmas decorations, and little trinkets that the kids wrap and take home each day. I hit the dollar bins and the kids get really excited to wrap little erasers, pencils, ornaments etc. to bring home. The rule is one present a day. By the end of the week they begin picking gifts out for friends and siblings. I have received wonderful feedback from the parents. Also to help stock the center I ask the parents to bring in any wrapping materials right after Thanksgiving. I get a ton of donations this way
We also made rectangle trees, paint washing snow globes, gingerbread men, advent counting rings, ornaments, and parent gifts.
This was a great math activity with the children putting the strips of paper in order largest to smallest to make their trees.
I had the kids draw with oil pastels and then wash over it with watercolor. Once it dried we put glue and glitter for snowflakes!
We rubbed cinnamon onto the gingerbread man for the sense of smell for this project.
We made counting rings to count down to Christmas and Jesus’s birthday. There is a cute poem that goes up at the top with a star.
The kids loved making these. They turned out adorable!
Here is the poem we attached.
Then they sponge painted lunch sacks, wrapped the ornament in tissue paper, and tied a ribbon on the bag.
They also made these ornaments during the class party. They filled the plastic ornaments with beads and snow, put in a picture on one side and their name on the other. Very cute!
