Decorating the tree and the house is a lovely time together.
Why not add some handmade decorations in too.
--
There are lots of ideas, some need very little to make.
--
These have all been made with paper or card, glue and some thread or wool to hang.
--------------------
These are paper or card with glued on cotton buds, you could use straws or have a look to see what you have at home.
--------------------
This is paper.
--------------------
Paper or card folded and stuck. If you dont have a printer you could draw the face on. How many of your family can you turn into elves? Or will you make another Christmas character?
-----------------
Santa is paper, glue and cotton wool.
----------------
Cardboard tubes, paper, pompoms and cotton wool. Could also be done with paint or pens.
-----------------
Lollypop sticks, painted or coloured in then decorated.
----------------
Decorated baubles, the penguins are done with felt but paper or card would also work. Paint finger prints for the reindeer with a permanent pen to add detail.
---------------
Salt dough or clay Christmas trees.
