christmas cards day 3

Well we didn't get to make as many Christmas cards last week as I planned on I wanted to make them at least 4 days.  So we took Wednesday off to watch a Christmas show.  Then Friday one of my little ones got sick and since they are all in the same family they all went home really early.  So we only got to do 3 days.

 

This card is really cutie. 

All you need is a blank card or card stock cut in half and folded in half.

different colors of construction paper. 

a hole punch

glue

and markers.  

I cut card stock in half and then folded each half in half. To make my cards.
Then I let my children
 



 

then I let the children use hole punches to punch out a lot of holes from the construction paper

 

then I put glue dots in a random pattern around the edges of the cards and let the children put the construction paper dots on the glue

 

then you take a green marker and draw lines around the dots.  Then you add black lines connecting the construction paper dots to the green marker lines.  And you have a Christmas lights card.  You can write a message in the middle or leave it blank your choice. 

 

I hope you are all having a good time getting ready for Christmas.

Childrens Christmas Day 2 more cards

 

 

We used construction paper strips to make Christmas tree cards today

the first picture was made by the 9 year old girl I watch and the picture below was made by the 3 year old I watch

 

These are very simple to make you just cut strips of brown and green construction paper and glue them down to your card

First you glue the brown down to be the trunk of the tree.

 

 

then you glue your green strips across the brown.

 

My kids wanted to add decorations so they used holes punched out of construction paper and glued them on to the trees.

 

I think they turned out pretty cute

Merry Christmas to each and everyone of you

Childrens Christmas Day1- Christmas cards

Stephanie here
Okay as most of you know I run a home childcare.  We are all excited here getting ready for Christmas.  I have lots of Christmas Crafts and Activities planned for the next few weeks.  And I thought I would share them here with everyone.
This week we are doing Christmas Cards.  Here are the ones we did for day 1
These cards are so simple that most children over 5 or 6 should be able to do them on their own.





first I printed some ornament shapes out on regular printer paper and cut them out

then I had the children glue strips of construction paper all over them



then I  cut off the excess paper since I have mosly little people older chldren would have no problem doing this. 



this is how it will look with the paper all trimmed




I made simple cards by cutting card stock in half then folding each cut piece in half.



then let the children glue the ornaments on to their cards.

Now their parents have some homemade cards to give to grandparents and other special people.
