The Reindeer pots are very popular in our house, my 6 and 8 year old started making them for their teachers and filling them with candies for Christmas gifts. Have fun

    you can do santa clause with their hand in white paint as the beard. and draw the rest. o or they could make snow man out of glue and cotton balls and different color pipe cleaners for the arms and nose. and thread for the scarf and paper cut out hat. you know a square for the Top of it and a rectangle for the bottom piece of the hat as well as paper for the buttons. my moms an art teacher for elementary school kids. she does those kind of things all the time. anther would be to cut out a wreath ( O ) like an o and make it hollow and have them glue beans around it making a pattern. she uses card board for the wreath and black beans white beans brown beans any or all of those work well and its cheap. next you can tie a bow with ribbon and glue that on and its finished. makes a wonderful gift for their parents or decoration for christmas. i still have mine from when i was a kid and its been 15 years at least since i made mine!

    you can make reindeer out of clothespins. glue two clothes pins together pointed down (the ones WITHOUT the springs) and then glue one upside down as the head. Glue googly eyes and a red popm pom nose and you’re done!

    Also, you can make candy cane reindeer. Get brown pipe cleaners and twist them around the crook of the candy cane so they stick up like antlers. Then glue small googly eyes and red pom pom nose.

    get some wooden Christmas ornaments that come out in November at craft stores, and paint. spread out newspaper over an entire table, set out trays of paint, put old clothes on the kids, and let them go wild finger painting the ornaments…don’t forget to date the back! :)

    making reindeer antlers is so easy.
    take a strip of color papers (any color it doesn’t matter) and fit it around the child’s head, staple it at the right size. Help the child trace out their hand prints on brown or white construction paper, if it was whit then they can color it brown, help them staple or tape the antlers on, and they’re reindeer!

    why don’t you try making like a book…
    so they can draw the picture and you write or something
    OR you could make Christmas puppets, and then have a puppet show :)

    Christmas cards.All you need is some construction paper,glitter,glue.Or a cookbook.all you need is some ribbon,paper and staples.Have each child write out their favorite dinner food and a dessert.It is hilarious what they actually think and how its cooked.!A very fun craft.
