Easy Christmas Crafting With A Two Year old.

By Patricia

My six year old grandson is in Kindergarten, where doing crafts is practically a law. But his two year old brother doesn't get to do nearly as many, and I thought he would enjoy spending time with me while we did our own craft together.
I have always enjoyed making paper chains at Christmas with my own children, they are super quick and easy, so this is the project I chose for us. Red and green paper, glue sticks, glitter, and scissors are all you need.

It was a little messy with the glitter and glue but Liam was very proud of himself after I hung this up in the kitchen. This really is a great fun Christmas project for preschoolers, or anyone who wants to put together something quick and easy.

Simple Reindeer Ornaments

Our supplies: Ornaments, Paint, Permanent Marker (not picture was the red glitter glue I used for the nose)

Let the kids dip their thumb in the paint!

Stamp their finger on the ornament, I had them do it twice for 2 reindeer.

After the paint dried I drew the eyes and antlers, their name and the year, followed up by a red nose :)

The reindeer are not perfect, but that's what happens with small children and projects!

Calling all Knitters!!!
