December 17th
Today, we are making candy cane decorations. You will need...
lots of little candy canes
a couple of boxes of large candy canes
some brown pipe cleaners`
some litle wiggle eyes
your hot glue gun w/ sticks
small silver bells
some yarn / string
ornament #1 ~ We start off by taking two unwrapped little candy canes and glueing them together to make a heart. :) When we are glueing the curved ends together i also include a loop of yarn in the glueing. We take the two little silver bells and tie them each onto a string. I then tie the string onto the low part of the heart. Then tada, we hang them around on the tree.
ornament #2 ~ Take your wrapped large candy cane, a brown pipe cleaner, and two little wiggly eyes, and make a reindeer. I pull out the glitter and the kids glue glitter onto the antlers ans sometimes even put left over bells on them.
The kids and I usually sit down and talk about the Lord and what transformations he go through during the year, and these reflect on our life.
Enjoy,
love your neighbors,
Blessings,
Fenix
