you get those kinda like foam balls and some comfetty put some glue on the outside of the ball and then roll the ball in the comfetty then you put those little pipe cleaners on them andthey make really cute ornaments for the trees, have them color their own christmas trees, and there is a craft book at walmart for really cheap it has alot of arts and crafts in them a count down calendar is always fun but you would have to do most of the work for that age

Answer 4

paper streamer that they can wrap around a christmas cake.

I still have one nearly fifteen years old.

make big long paper lengths that you frill by cutting when the paper is folded - you cut about an inch and a half in. frill top and bottom and have the kids decorate with their own pictures or cut out christmas shapes and stick on

Answer 5

Here are a few ideas:

-Make ornaments.  Find a playdough recipe that you can bake in the oven.  The kids can use cookie cutters to make different Christmas shapes, don't forget to use a straw to poke a hole for string before you bake!

-Frosty pictures.  Using crayons, color a winter scene picture on black or blue construction paper.  Boil about a cup of water and add about a cup of Epson Salts, disolve.  Have the kids brush the solution overtop of their pictures.  When it dries it should look frosty.  OR you can also dilute white paint with water in a spray bottle, invite the kids to spray "snow" onto their pictures.

-Photocopy a picture of Santa's face...have the kids color the pic and glue cotton balls on his beard.

-Trace kids hands on red and green paper.  Make a wreath with the hand cutouts.
