When M (my niece)got home from school today, she wanted to know when we were doing our craft :) O and I had already built the church, but I had the materials ready to make jingle bell bracelets. You need pipe cleaners and bells. That's it! I quickly wrote a note with the craft idea written on it and put it in M's advent house. The girls weren't overly excited by the activity, but they enjoyed it once they got started :) O needed lots of help getting the bells on the pipe cleaner because the holes were VERY small. M also needed a little help when the pipe cleaner got stuck. M had the idea to also make necklaces and crowns. Thanks to
Laura for this fun idea!
O has finished her bracelet and is choosing colors for her necklace.

Working on her crown, which she later decided would make a great necklace!

My little O was worn out and almost fell asleep at the counter. We finished the activity shortly after I took this picture, and we all laid down and read LOTS of Christmas books :)

You have some GREAT activities here, Melissa! Thanks for the insipiration. This could be adapted for Hanukkah, too. I was thinking of adding colorful shapes made of felt w/ big holes in the middle (for us it would be stars or dreidels). :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, this is so simple and easy. Why couldn't I have thought of that, haha. We need one more thing to make this week and this will be it! Thanks so much!
