CRAFTS WITH KIDS

I.  Are you constantly telling your children not to touch the Christmas tree?  Moving little ones away from it?  Here's a tree they can help make, decorate, "undecorate," and redecorate over and over!

II.  Here's a reindeer you and your children can make using their foot and hand prints.  It uses just ordinary construction paper and could be a fun, rainy day craft.  I made this with my granddaughter.  We didn't have googly eyes or a puffy red nose, but she loved drawing the eyes and nose on "all by herself" with a crayon!

III.  And how cute are these Rudolphe Clothespins?
