I would make a basic sugar cookie. Cut them out before baking into the shape of a Christmas Tree. Then make some green frosting for coloring the tree. Then get candy and sprinkles for the decorations. Let the children decorate them themselves. References :
Make christmas cookies…use the shapes to cut out in the dough and than put sprinkles on them Man i used to love that. Also, for a craft, get clothes pins and get some tissue paper, glitter, and gold pipe cleaners to make snow angels! References :
Is this a public school? You can be sued for saying Christmas or using any form of that word. Please refer to it as "non-denominational celebration day of miscellaneous events." To avoid a law suit.
J/K I hate stupid lawyers that get these kinda rulings passed.
Here’s an idea:
Make some chains of paper rings that can be pulled apart one at a time as a countdown to Christmas. References :
get foam cups that you can buy at the $ store
have them paint them and decorate them with glitter
tiny foam balls that can be glued on
yarn for garland
and make a star on a Popsicle stick w/ a star on it for the top References :
A craft idea would be a paper plate with a circle cut out of the center to make a shape like a wreath. Then crumple up pieces of tissue paper in christmas colors and glue them to the paper plate.
Make a snowman/christmas tree out of construction paper.
I recently heard of a good idea. Quick and easy.
Each child should bring in a favorite family photo standard size.
You will need Circular, Wooden Curtain Rings.
Small items and paint to decorate the rings.
After decorating the rings frame the photo with the ring and paste it down. Waaalllllaaaaa! instant Christmas Ornament.
Also, don’t listen to deltafox… up there. As a Mother or client of the public school system you can say whatever you want. It is only those employed by the school systems that are forced to be Secular!!!! References :
mix green food color into some fluff and use it as glue. create a cherrios tree or wreath and have the kids decorate it with gum drops and pieces of candy.
collect pine cones and have the kids decorate them with kids paint, tie a ribbon and stick them to the ceiling for the season.
Glue cotton balls as snow men and snow balls ..
Use strips of paper dipped in liquid starch to create a piniata. Place the wet strips on the blown up balloon, let them dry and pop the balloon. Decorate the ball like the planet earth.
Remember, not all children celebrate the same holiday.
Quanza, Chaunika, Christmas, Yule .. So call a wreath a "winter circle of friendship" and make little friendship trees with the cheerios
A sugar cone upside down frosted with green frosting and a variety of sprinkles makes a cute decorated tree. We did this last year and it turned out great! References :
