With Christmas just around the corner what better time to have an idea for Christmas crafts for kids?
Each year we receive a mass of maps, many beautiful it is difficult to discard. Then there are those special people that you've taken. Are your drawers from becoming clogged with cards of Christmas past?
Well, this craft idea will help to purify and recycle in the market. What you need is a pile of old Christmascards, craft scissors, glue, glitter, cotton wool, a few of those paper placemats that you use for cake plates and anything else your imagination can stretch children for. Be sure to keep aside the cards that are sentimental. You may regret having later cut it.
Let the kids cut out interesting shapes of these old cards and assemble them into new: Santa Angels, bells, candles, nativity scenes, rhymes, poems, etc. You will not need new cards to stick on as you canassemble multiple cards into one, drawing on past senders. This is a collage of cards. Several years ago a charity used to do this very thing and stamp their name on the back of the card and sell them. What a great way to recycle Christmas cards and support a needy cause.
Here are some ideas to use cotton wool - use sparingly. Add to the Santa Claus beard Nice and soft, or use as the base of his hat. Cover the soil with a outdoor stage for somesnow.
The mats can be cut to use as snowflakes or 'Lacey' trim on the angels and the choirs kept singing. Pretty up a plain looking Christmas ornament with the addition of a few bits of this "lace paper. Kids love glitter and this can be added to one of the cards over for extra spark.
The Christmas crafts for children should not be complicated. With a little imagination - and children have a lot of this - you can turn your stack of cards in the past something specialfor a new recipient. Let the kids sign their cards and you will delight anyone with a card made especially for them.
