The Gift of Giving

The art of gift giving - to each and every child have a merry Christmas!!

Christmas Crafting

From ornaments to wreaths to Christmas trees to reindeer and everything in between the children have kept busy (and warm!) doing cute crafts.

O Christmas Wreath

Our craft today sure was an intense one!  Children got to mix mediums (crayons and tissue paper) to create wonderful Christmas wreaths.  They cut, coloured then rolled tissue paper and glued it to the "frame".  They sure focused well and did a fantastic job!

Angels

Angels we have heard .... at Susan's?? If so, they sure a boisterous bunch. ;)  Check out our adorable paper plate angels.

Run, Run, Reindeer

Using our hands and feet (literally), we made the cutest little reindeer today.  There were 7 reindeer made so we're 2 short of a complete set (must be Rudolph and Dasher off causing havoc somewhere).  Hopefully Santa will still be able to get his sleigh pulled to deliver toys to all the good little girls and boys.

Elves

A bunch of Santa's little helpers were created the other day.  There was a real elf invasion at Susan's. It's always great to see the individually children bring to their daily creations.  Watch out for those pesky little elves!  They've been known to cause a bit of trouble. ;)

Stockings

The stockings were hung by the chimney, or the mantle if at Susan's, with care....leaving behind a trail of glitter for Santa to follow.

Candy Cane Beading

Christmas will soon be here and the spirit of the holidays has enveloped Susan's place.  The children are heavy into the Christmas season with crafts, games, movies and more!   One of the activities was candy cane beading which worked on the children's fine motor and math patterning skills.
