My grandchildren love slime and they love it even more when they make it with mommy.
2020 is a very special year filled with lots of love and hope. There is so much we can do with our children spending quality time with them making things laughing and even drinking hot cocoa while crafting.
I see only Light. Only God.
Here are a couple of ideas to do with your children during the Christmas Holidays! Enjoy!
Making Christmas Slime
This is a video on some really pretty Christmas slime ideas. I love the colors! My favorites are the green. It looks like a Christmas tree. The blue. It looks like a winter scene. The red and white candy cane slime.
Thank you to Karina Garcia. You can check out her YouTube channel for other great ideas.
Home made wrapping paper
This is a fun craft I did with my grandchildren.
It's super easy and requires hardly any money.
I saved paper bags I got from the grocery stores.
Used white, green, and red paint.
I just let them put their hands on paint then put their imprint on the paper.
I love home made and handcrafted.
This is what they used to wrap mommy and daddy's presents.
Fun. Messy kind of. Super easy.
They LOVED it!
Make a gingerbread house
My grandbabies love their sweets so making a gingerbread house was fun and the anticipation of eating it afterwards was just as fun.
In today's world we live in baking is time consuming so if you don't have the time you can buy gingerbread house kits.
This one I just so happened to win at our church Christmas party.
Here you can see my grandbabies digging in! Especially the candy LOL!
I hope this helps to inspire you with ideas for things that you can do with your children during the Christmas Holiday Season!
I don't have a proper website to cite this. I found it on a website that did not cite where they go this from. It looks like it's either the small Pringles containers or a tin can. Ribbon is glued around and small tinsel garland lines the top. Fill it up with goodies and place in a cellophane bag. Tie off with curly ribbon and you've got a fun party favor for a Christmas party or to give to classmates.
I Love making crafts with my grandchildren and before my children were all grown I Loved making Christmas crafts with them. Now my oldest daughter has 3 of her own children.
This is a collection of 15 Christmas Crafts that I'd like to make with my grandchildren.
1. Popsicle Stick Santa, Reindeer, and Snowman. Looks pretty easy to make. The site that had the tutorial is no longer up.
2. Hand shaped Reindeer ornaments. Very nice! You can also use ground cinnamon or cloves to coat the hand prints.
4. Recycling tissue paper rolls. Oh there's loads of stuff out there to recycle tissue paper rolls! I can't wait to post'em all!! But this one here will do for my grandchildren. There is no link for the link that I was sent to was not good so we'll just eyeball it and go from there! Luckily it's very simple, I just like to give credit where credit is due but not this time.
5. Here's a way to recycle your jugs. Make snowmen light up for the holidays with this almost no cost children's Christmas craft. Imagine their delight when they see their lighted snowmen lining a window or pathway outside.
7. What fun! Children decorating felt ginger bread men! You can use pompom balls, chenille sticks or you can use any kind of light beads like sequins to glue on. I Love felt ornaments!
8. Have some wire and pony beads? Stringing beads can help children with muscle coordination and dexterity. Children will be sure to have fun with this Christmas craft!
9. The reason for the Holiday Season is Jesus Christ and his birth. I can just see how great making this craft will be for children and all the stories to be told while crafting and drinking hot chocolate. Looks like maybe wood was used here but I'm sure it'll be alright to use card stock too. I'd Love to hang this on our Christmas tree!
10. Here's another Jesus in a Manger children's craft using paper plates and feathers. This time there's a site to go to although this craft is easy to figure out.
14. A favorite not just for children's Christmas crafting but for any crafting. Use cookie cutters, color with food coloring or paint after the ornament hardens. Either way your children are gonna love squishing the salt dough between their fingers and giving it shape.
15. How pretty is this? I know there's a craft using baked pony beads to make a suncatcher but this is also a neat way to make a stained glass looking Christmas ornament. Beautiful hanging by a window.
That sums up my 15 Christmas crafts that I'd like to do with my grandchildren. We'll see how many we do. It would be so awesome to decorate our Christmas tree with all the ornaments they make.
I'm sure I'll be creating more posts like this where I collect different things I like to do, cooking, baking, crafts and share with everyone!
