Crafts - Plan A Fun Craft Project Decorate for the holidays Holiday Gifts you can make Christmas Crafts Teacher’s Page BINGO craft games http://www.kidsdomain.com/craft/index.html?trnstl=1 This is a great craft for kids of any age. Now you can have your very own Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer to hang on the tree. Age 4 and up This project is rated EASY to do. What You Need ¼ sheet of light brown craft foam 2 glitter gold chenille sticks 2 medium wiggle eyes 1 red glitter pom pom 6-8 inches of ribbon White craft glue or hot glue gun Scissors What You Do To make the head, cut 2 tear drop shapes from the craft foam. To make the ears, cut a small oval, then cut it in half lengthwise. Bend each chenille stick in half, then bend and twist them to form two antlers. Glue the ears toward the top of the round end of one of the tear drop shapes. Tip: Hot glue works much faster. Glue antlers to the top of the same oval shape. For the hanger, fold ribbon in half and glue the open ends together in between the two antlers. Glue the second oval shape to the back of the first oval to create the back of the reindeer’s head. This sandwiches the ears, antlers and hanger inside the two tear drop shapes and gives the ornament a more finished look. Glue on wiggle eyes. Glue on red pom pom for nose at the pointed end of the tear drop. Allow to dry completely. Helpful Hints Check the holiday section of the craft store for glitter chenille sticks and pom poms. To make it easier for younger children, either draw the shapes onto the craft foam for them, or cut out the shapes yourself ahead of time. Foam can be found in abundance at your local craft or discount department store in a variety of colors. You can even buy mini buckets full of various different shapes, colors and sizes.

At Home Billboards Kids 7 to 12: indoor activity Required:Posterboard, art supplies, magazines/junk mail  Encourage your young artists to keep the text or "copy" simple, and let the pictures do most of the work. If your kids want to try their hands at creating billboards that advertise, you might suggest they tout their favorite toys and use homemade drawings that make the items seem especially appealing. Then they can write a tantalizing blurb designed to hook potential buyers. Alternatively, your kids can create billboards that remind family members about their "public service" responsibilities (such as helping neighbors or picking up litter) or household chores (like setting the table or mowing the lawn), or that deal with important issues (political endorsements, recycling, and so on). Your kids can draw their own pictures, or cut images from old magazines and junk mail that bring the message to life, and create a catchy slogan. Family members can also work together to create a billboard, with each participant contributing something -- one picture or the caption -- to the collage. Begin by finding a product or cause that the whole family can get behind. So how would your family use a billboard to sell "great activity time?
