4 Christmas crafts the kids made

Last week I didn't get in the car for 4 days. I will also admit that I didn't get out of sweats on those days either :) My kids went from jammies to a new pair of jammies at night :) Jayden is my home body and didn't mind at all  but Zack was ready to bust out of the house by Sunday morning!

   Every evening while daddy was at work we had a special craft. First we made..... Rag Christmas Trees

 It is such a fun and easy craft that even Kaitlyn was able to make it ( with a little help from mom:). It took them about 45min!!! It was so peaceful to have them all sitting for that long working with Christmas music serenading us :)

You need a Styrofoam cone, lots of  1 to 2 inch squares of fabric, and a pencil.

Put the print side up and then press the pencil in the middle of the square into the cone... do this about 100 times and wha-la.. 

a beautiful rag Christmas tree. 

 You can also make wreaths if you buy a wreath shape Styrofoam. 

Next  day we studied Reindeer (also known as Caribou)  

The kids made poems 

We finished our study with a reindeer ornaments..

 
                         I made these last ones last year but thought I could share them too

Pine cone snow man

I had a thing for pine cones last year :) But I just love how these trees turned out... The kids had a lot of fun painting them too.. We painted them in 2 steps.. first green and then once that dried we painted white tips  and added silver sprinkles and the yellow card stock star on top!!  

They look so cute in my living room this year!
