MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! A cute and simple-to-make snowman card.

1) Fold a piece of card stock or construction paper in half.

2) Carefully tear three white circles for the snowman's body and head. Glue the paper to the front of the card, putting a pipe cleaner (or two twist ties) under the middle circle to be the snowman's arms.
3) Use a hole punch to make two tiny, black eyes. Cut out a tiny red mouth (or use the hole punch) and a tiny orange, carrot-shaped nose. Cut a small, black paper hat for the snowman. Glue them to the snowman's head. Optional: Spread a thin layer of glue on the snowman and sprinkle with salt. After the glue sets, the salt looks like snow!

Make this hanging wall pocket from a paper plate.

Supplies:
  • 2 plain paper plates
  • a hole punch
  • yarn, twine, or other thick thread
  • scissors
  • stickers (optional)
  • thick needle (optional)
  • crayons, paint, or markers
 Step 1: Cut one paper plate in half. Punch holes along the straight edge, about 1 inch apart (don't punch near the circular part yet).
Step 2:Put the plates together, the fronts together, forming a pocket. While holding them together, punch holes around the edges about 1 inch apart. It may help to use clothes pins to hold the 2 plates together.
Step 3: Have the child "sew" up all the edges with yarn, string, or twine. Older children can use an upholstery needle. For younger ones, a bit of nail polish put on the end of the string (let it dry first) will act like a needle.
Step 4: Make a hole for hanging the wall pocket on the wall. Decorate the wall pocket with crayons, markers, or paint.
