Cheap Christmas Projects

[newtodis]

Good Morning! Our PTO is looking for some cheap Christmas projects for the kids to do in December for a couple hours after school one night. A few things have been ordered from Oriental Trading. The biggest challenge that I see is a project that can be simplied for kindergardners and more complex for the like 4th graders. Any suggestions would be awesome!!!

One thing I have done before is buy clear plastic Christmas ornaments (the round ones work best) and some craft paint. I know you said it was younger kids so maybe you don't want to do this. But it's very easy and they are so cute. You simply take the top off the ornament, pour in just a bit of the craft paint and then swirl it around so the paint sticks to the sides. You can do more than one color too. To dry them, I just lay them upside down in an egg carton. They take a good day or so to dry completely.

Have a good time with your craft project!!

Snowman handprint ornaments.
Paint hand white, grab the bottom of a clear plastic ball ornament, leaving the hand print with the fingers up towards the the top where you would put the hook. Decorate each finger as a snowman.

Family Fun is a good website to look for crafts.

Let me just say, they used dried beans, instead of rice, (just in the bottom) and used cotton filling for the top parts.
