christmas crafts with the lil' ones

I had the joy of babysitting today and the lil' man had such a fun time I thought I'd post our creations for you to try with your lil' ones.

You will need:

white paper plates

crayons or pencils

red pom poms

brown card

googly eyes

brown pipe cleaners

scraps of ribbon

This reindeer head was made using a paper plate which the lil' man drew on to create the illusion of fur. We then glued on googly eyes and a red pom pom for the nose. Lastly, we traced the lil' man's hands onto brown card and we used these as the reindeer's antlers. Use a ribbon if you want this reindeer as a cute hanging decoration or glue on an ice-cream stick to the bottom and use it as a mask!

This next little reindeer was made using the lil' mans hand print, and with a Christmas message, it makes a great gift for mum and dad or the grandparents!

I hope you have a fun time with your lil' one's this Christmas, and remember, it's not about all the 'stuff' you buy them, but about the quality time you spend with them this holiday season!
