Christmas Project
One of my all-time favorite holiday crafts that I made was Santa ornaments that I made with my children.
1.First, trace your child’s hand onto white craft foam and then cut out. This is Santa’s beard.
2.Cut out more red craft foam into a curved triangle for Santa’s hat and glue to the white hand.
3.Cut a small circle out of white craft foam and glue to the tip of the hat.
4.Draw on Santa’s eyes, nose and mouth on to the top portion of the white beard.
