I teach a class of about This also worked with my Sunday School class. We had a BLAST and I got some work done. As a reward, a few days before Christmas, I got them a small tree that they could decorate with their home-made ornaments, the ones left over after they gave most of them away as gifts, that is.

We also made poinsettia ornaments just using clothes-pins, a coffee-filter, a sparkly pipe-cleaner, some glue, and some red water-color paint. Too Cool. We made Christmas tree ornaments that were actually little Christmas trees made with 1 jumbo popsicle stick, 5 or 6 small ones, some sequins, glue, glitter, and pipe cleaners. We just did very simple Christmas crafts that a 5-year-old could do easily, and cheaply. I turned my breakfast table into a craft station, I would help her make a couple of the Christmas Craft of the day to get her started, then get her to make 20-30.

I found some "Simple Christmas Crafts" for my then 5 year old daughter. Well I tried a new game plan last year that totally worked, I got the kiddies interested in simple arts and crafts for the Christmas season. How bad of a father does that make me? Usually, Christmas break is a time where I get nothing done unless I put the kiddies in front of the boob-tube all day. I am a father of 2 and I work at home. I hear ya. What are we gonna do? The kiddies are home, and the weather outside is frightful. Christmas Break!
