Welcome to classroom party craft audition TWO! (Go here for audition ONE.)
I'm pretty sure I have the best readers ever (I know every blogger feels that way . . . but I really do!) because you left some amazing comments about the yarn ornaments. I really appreciated your honest feedback and suggestions. Since I'm new . . . and slightly inept . . . to planning crafts for a group of 24 five and six year olds, I REALLY need help!
As I side note, I realize these crafts don't really need step-by-step explanations and directions, but I give them so that you can read what the process is and give me your feedback about whether you think it's too hard, too easy or just right . . . hey, I sound like Goldilocks!
Also, I checked with the teacher and all the kids do celebrate Christmas, so most of these crafts use traditional Christmas symbols.
So . . . just as a recap, I would like to have a couple different craft stations with the following themes:
1) Eat It - something food related for them to decorate/make and eat right there
2) Keep It - a craft for them to keep for themselves or their home
3) Give It - a craft for them to giveaway to a neighbor or friend
I think Eat It will be a cookies decorating station. So I need a Keep It and a Give It craft.
And here's number two:
Christmas Tree Tubes
Audition #2
Here’s what you need:
~Big triangle cut out of colorful cardstock
~White yarn cut into a long piece
~foam star sticker
~small paper roll
~a third of a paper roll bent into the shape of a square
~candy or crayons or other fillers for the tube
~glue
Here’s what you do:
1) Peel the backing of the foam star sticker. Place at top of tree. Make a zigzag with the glue from the top to the bottom of the tree. And place the yarn over the top of the glue like garland.
2) Glue the tree onto the paper roll leaving about 1/3 or 1/4 of the paper roll sticking out of the bottom as the tree trunk.
3) Stick the square-shaped paper roll into the bottom of the tube.
4) Fill tube with candy or crayons.
Done!
I like this audition better than the yarn ornaments, but I'm not completely sold on it. Too easy? Too hard?
Weigh in! What do you think?
Craft on!
