    We make pomanders and popcorn strings

    I have a colonial Christmas celebration every year in my room! The kids love it.

    All you need for the pomanders is oranges, cloves, and cinnamon. Have kids put the cloves in the oranges (some enjoy making patterns or shapes) and then roll the orange in the cinnamon. Put them in a brown paper bag to take home.

    For the popcorn strings, I use waxed dental floss (it's just easier than thread). Thread the floss through a needle and string one cranberry on, then tie a knot around it with the floss (this keeps everything else you put on from falling off). Kids can then alternate popcorn and cranberries and thread them on however they want. Make sure they leave some room at the other end of the string to tie a knot.
