Sock Snowman
Here is an
adorable idea you can make with your class or with your own children. This would be also be a great gift idea
for grandparents.
You will need: white tube socks, fiber fill, rubber
bands, markers, felt scraps, wiggly eyes, and other craft accessories
Have children fill
the bottom of the sock with 3 large fists of fiberfill. Put a rubber band around this
section. Put two fists full of
fiberfill in and then put a rubber band around the middle section. Put one fist full of fiberfill in to
make the head and put a rubber band.
Pull the top cuff of the sock over the head to look like a hat. Decorate with wiggly eyes, felt scarf,
yarn hair, etc. Draw on a mouth
and buttons with markers.
Crackers
These won’t really
crack, but they are lots of fun to make or give to friends. They can also add a special touch to a
special holiday table.
You will need: cardboard rollers, wrapping paper,
candy, small toys, curling ribbon
Directions: Cut
the cardboard rollers into 5” sections.
Fill with candy and little toys.
Roll in wrapping paper, twist the ends, and tie with curling ribbon.

Rings
Your children can
help you spruce up your holiday table with these napkin rings.
You will need: paper towel rolls, stickers, yarn, lace,
fabric, buttons
Cut the cardboard
roll into 1 ½” sections. Cut the wrapping
paper into 2 ½” x 6” rectangles.
Spread glue on the back side of the wrapping paper and then wrap it
around the cardboard roll. Tuck in
the top and bottom to make your napkin ring.
*You can also use
stickers, yarn, fabric, or lace to decorate your napkin rings. Insert a holiday napkin for a special
touch.
