As Christmas approaches, offer opportunities for children to create gifts for the special people in their lives.
Snowstorms
- Have fun playing with snowstorms and supply the resources for the children to create their own.
- Provide plastic jars with screw-top lids, small figures (those used for cake decorations are ideal), glitter or dessicated coconut (check for allergies first) and waterproof glue.
- Where necessary, help the children to glue the figures to the base of the jar and to screw on the lid once they have added the water and 'snowflakes'.
Candleholders
- Draw children's attention to candles in Christmas books, cards and pictures and provide resources for them to make candleholders: clay, PVA glue, varnish, sequins and glitter.
