Holiday Crafts
Gifts Kids Can Make Themselves
By Marie-Helen Goyetche
You'll need:
Pipe cleaners
Yarn
Ornament hooks
Decorative ribbon
Take a white pipe cleaner and form it into the shape of a candy cane. Starting from the straight end at the bottom, wrap a piece of red yarn around the pipe cleaner all the way to the top. At the top, make a small loop with the red yarn. Make a knot and attach an ornament hook. Your candy cane is ready to hang on your tree. Make 12, tie with a decorative ribbon and let your child offer a dozen sugar-free candy canes to a loved one.
You'll need:
A small branch
Play Doh (or clay)
A drinking cup
White acrylic non-toxic paint
Paintbrush
Gumdrops
Take a small branch and strip it of its leaves. Put the Play Doh at the bottom of the drinking cup and stick the branch into the cup. The end of the branch should go through the Play Doh. Paint the branch with the white paint and let dry. Make two piles of gumdrops, one to eat now and one to use to stick on the ends of each mini branch.
