christmas crafts
By michele--or

Clip to ScrapBook   
One of my favorite that I did when teaching 1st grade was making a calendar, but it is a pretty involved process. I took pictures, using props, for May I had the kids bring in umbrellas (or caught them on a rainy day), another
teacher had a HUGE santa for Dec. etc. I had some pictures of the kids by themselves, others with their friends. For other months, I had the kids draw pictures, use their heads and put them on another body, and cut out everyone's head, and had a talented student draw a christmas scene using everyone in a picture (it is actually REALLY cute!) I tried to use no more than 6 digital
pictures to keep down the cost!

We have made teddy bear ornaments with the students picture in the middle.

Last year, I had my husband cut up a small (3 inch diameter) log into 1 1/2 inch thick circles, and drill a hole in the top. We pasted the kids pictures in the middle with modge-podge. Then on the other side, the kids stamped a christmas picture and colored it, then we modge-podged this side too. We put some raffia in the hole and tied it to hand it, and had a quick/easy ornament.

Hope this helps somewhat!

Michele
