holly2hottie Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 I am going to make reindeer heads out of his feet and hands. Foot outline is the head/face and cut out hand prints for the antlers. Then decorate with red pom pom for nose. Cute and fun!
codeblue Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 need some easy craft ideas for toddlers--any ideas?Depending on age you may want to try this website www.dltk-kids.com I have used it before and they have several things for anything you would want to do.
elena_398 Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 My son did a wonderful project when he was in 3rd grade. take macoroni noodles (or any shape) and put them aside. Take a felt piece of material and cut it to the shape you want...Tree, angel, etc. Glue the noodles to fill in the shape. Use spray paint to decorate the noodles (mom or dad to help of course) and you can make an adorable art project.
eve Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 how about a paper chain? Red and green paper cut in strips Have then glue each strip together so it forms circles then a chain
Guest all2tired Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 There's one that you make ornaments out of applesause and cinnamon. I'll have to find the recipe but they smell great. My kids made them for teachers and just anybody they wanted to give a gift to. They used cookie cutters for teh shapes. My daughter actually made Santa cry one year. She sat on his lap to tell him what she wanted, then she handed him the ornament she made. He was so touched he cried. I'll go look for that recipe right now before I forget. Ok found it here's the recipe... Cinnamon Ornaments 3/4 C applesauce 1 (one) 4 oz bottle cinnamon Mix applesauce with cinnamon to form a stiff dough Roll dough 1/4 inch thick Cut with small cookie cutters Using a toothpick, make a hole in the top for a ribbon Carefully lay on rack to dry Let dry 2 days, turning occasionally When completely dry, put a ribbon through the hole in ornament for hanging That's it

I don't think mine was the exact copy of yours, but it was very close. I hadn't even thought about doing these again, but you got me thinking!!! These would be a great gift for the kids to do!! THANKS!!!
Gloey Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 I just cut out some snowflakes out of paper for my GD to decorate with glitter. I thought that would be fairly easy to do, just put glue on a plate and dip them into the glue and then sprinkle glitter on them. I also want to get some plain votive candle holders to put glue and then glitter on. Who knows, this glitter could be a mess!

Who knows, this glitter could be a mess!Just a side note: Micheals has clear glass votive holders for pretty cheap. I like the applesause idea. I think we will try this with my kids.
