| No home should be without a green macaroni wreath this Christmas |
I've already outed myself as not a big fan of craft. I'd love to be more crafty, but so far my efforts have been fairly pathetic. However, in the interests of making my kids well-rounded creative individuals I occasionally rise to the challenge, and Christmas provides some good opportunities for stuff pretty much anyone can do.
I've bought a few pre-packaged sets of craft. We're talking basic here: A Christmas Star pack ($2.99) that comes with 100 cardboard stars in a variety of colours. Apparently we have to provide the glitter, sequins and stickers to adorn them with (what do you expect for $2.99?) What will we do with these decorated stars? Probably just use some as gift tags, some strewn on the table for Christmas lunch, and possibly some strung together as a garland (but I'm getting tired just thinking about that).
I have also bought some Christmas Picture Cards ($2.99) that have 5 assorted designs on 25 different cards. It just gives younger kids abit more direction if they start whinging that they don't know how to draw a reindeer/santa/stable/angel. I'll get them to write some messages and hand them out to their friends and school/preschool/Sunday school teachers.

Speaking of Christmas messages, Jesse and Eleanore got quite keen on writing Christmas messages last year. It's not a bad exercise to encourage. Just a small reminder for them to think of others when the world seems to be screaming: It's ALL about you! I took some photos of the results because the sentiments (and execution) were precious!

So remember, peace on earth and ho ho ho!
