The holidays bring out the craftsman/craftswoman in everyone, especially children. Children love to create and can be so imaginative and this activity not only gives them that opportunity, it is easy and inexpensive.
Materials:
- Glass Candle Holders (.99 to $2.50 at Micheal's), cleaned and dried
- Holiday Stickers
- Holiday Colored Acrylic Paint
- Paint Brushes
- Paper Stencils (optional)
- Holiday Colored Sharpies
Place each decorating item on the table and let the kids choose with which one they want to decorate with. They can draw a Christmas Tree, a stocking, or Rudolph's face using the sharpies, paint a star or snowflake with the paint, or use the stickers to place around the glasses. If doing this for a gathering, place a votive or pillar holder around the table, place circles of red, green, yellow, and blue acrylic paint on a white paper plate, lay a paint brush next to the plate, and place a sticker sheet at each candle. Then, let the children get into the holiday spirit by decorating what could be a gift for mom and dad or a new family decoration for the mantle. Merry Christmas!!!
