This is my favorite time of the year!  There are so many fun things to do.
Here are just a few "of our favorite things"!

 


Cut white construction paper into circles.  Have students paint a cross and then an x on top to resemble a peppermint.  Wrap with clear cellophane paper or even cling wrap and tie with curling ribbons at the ends.
  I usually decorate my door with white paper and then place students peppermints all over it with the words, "Jesus Makes Life Sweeter",
or "Jesus was Mint for You and Me."



These reindeer sandwiches are so cute and oh, so yummy!
Use wheat bread (crust cut off) and peanut butter.  Stick four
pretzels in between slices to resemble antlers.  Blue candy coated
chocolate for the eyes and a red cherry sour for the nose make this
treat come alive!



Who could resist these pretty packages all dressed for their Christmas
Program!  Simply wrap a cardboard box with Christmas paper and
cut out holes for the head and arms.  Perfectly precious!

 


We loved our Santa cupcakes.   Use red sugar, mini marshmallows,
mini chocolate chips and a red hot to make this cute Christmas cupcake.


These beautiful poinsettias helped us master our cutting skills.
As usual...add a little glitter and it becomes magical.


Children trace around their shoe to make Rudolph's face.  Then they
trace their hands for antlers and attempt to cut them out.  Glue on
a red pom-pom nose and google eyes to finish him off.


Fold a green sheet of construction paper lengthwise about two inches
up.  Have children cut slits on the fold all the way down.  Fold top over
and staple together to make wreath shape.  Decorate with red "holly".


This beautiful snowflake was actually quite simple to make.  Instructions
