Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas from Jibber Jabber! We've had an awesome holiday season and want to share some of our fun with you! We started out by making a fun yummy snack! We strung cereal onto pipe cleaners to make candy canes! It was a great counting activity and some of the kids even made patterns with their cereal!
Our next activity was decorating felt Christmas trees! This was such a fun activity because everyone really got to put their own touch on it! Everyone worked so hard to decorate their trees!
Next we made stockings to hang with care! Everyone practiced their sewing!
Then we all spelled our names out on our stockings so Santa would know which was ours!
We made snowmen out of water bottles!
We stuffed them full of cotton balls and added funny faces!
We loved painting reindeer masks! It was fun to pick which color nose to use! Some of the kids picked red like Rudolph and others went with purple and blue!
We played a fun game of pin the nose on Rudolph!
Everyone thought it was so funny to be blindfolded and spun around!
Nobody got it quite on the nose but it was a super fun game!
We made some very special painted ornaments! We chose our three favorite shimmery paints and put them together and shook them up! It made a beautiful swirly effect!
What's Christmas without a little cooking?
This dough wasn't made to eat though! We mixed together a clay like dough to make handprint Santa ornaments!
After we mixed, we had to knead the dough!
Then we cut them out, baked them, and painted!
Painting polka dots!
Julia got into the painting spirit!
Our next craft was handprint Christmas trees! It's a fun reminder of how big the kids' hands get each year! They love to decorate the trees and some of them even put a big star on top!
Finger painting time! We needed to make chimneys for our, "What would you do if Santa came down your chimney?" activity. We decided a good way to make chimneys would be to paint designs to print onto paper! They turned out so cute!
Everyone had an awesome time! Smiles all around!
Last but not least on our Christmas to-do list was baking our Christmas cookies!
This is always a favorite activity for everyone. They love to measure, mix, and roll out the dough!
.
We hope you've enjoyed our Christmas crafts!
Here are some fun photos of everyone getting into the Christmas spirit!
