Handmade Christmas gift from a child….?
I teach a class of 2 yr olds and every Christmas the children make a gift for the parents. In the past we have dressed them up as angels and took their picture and framed it, and one year it was handprint reindeer ornaments. I would like to do something new and creative…but still look like they made it. Any ideas?
As a pre-school teacher and a parent I always thought parents liked the hand print art the best. Cards with the kids toe prints are cute. Do them in green on red paper, then print “MISTLE-TOES” on the top! Or do marble paintings with red and green and yellow paint. Put paper in a shallow box. Drop teaspoons of paint on paper. Add marbles, let kids roll marbles around the paint. After it dries cut it into a tree shape (or can be used as wrapping paper!)
