I have an easy after-Thanksgiving Day Christmas craft for kids. It’s simple with no mess.
While searching online for ornament crafts for the preschool classroom at my church, I found a free template for a cute upside-down candy cane project. I cut out the candy canes from white cardstock, turned them upside down and colored them. Make sure you end with red at the bottom. Since I already have a star punch, I punched out gold stars and added J is for Jesus. I glued the star to the upside-down candy cane and laminated each one before adding the string. If you don’t have a laminating machine, use heavier white cardstock. Note: An adult must do the laminating.
We will soon have a Christmas tree in the preschool classroom at my church and each week until Christmas, I’ll provide an easy ornament for the children to make. For more ideas, check my website often.
Supplies needed:
- candy cane template
- glue (I adhered the string with hot glue, but you can use regular glue)
- white cardstock
- string
- red washable markers
- star punch (optional)
- laminating machine (optional)
This project would be fun to make during the long Thanksgiving weekend.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
