Remember making snowflakes out of white paper when you were a child? It is still a good old fashioned way to be creative. Take a piece of white paper and fold it in half so the opposite corners fold together then fold in half again as many times as you like. Four times is good. Then take a scissors and cut out little chucks of paper on the edges of the folds and slits too. Unfold and you have a snowflake. You can color the snowflake or put glitter on the edges to make it sparkle.

A pile of small felt pieces can make beautiful ornaments. You can make bells, stars, hand prints or anything your creative mind wants to. Just have glue, paint and glitter on hand to decorate your felt cut outs with. Cut a piece of felt in the shape of a bell and put glitter lines across the bell and you have a nice decoration. If your child is too small to use a scissors you can cut the object out and let the child decorate it with paint or glitter.

Styrofoam balls with some beads, glitter, paint or all three can make ornaments to put on your tree. Just glue or pin the beads on the Styrofoam balls in patterns that suit your creative style. You can glue glitter on or paint the balls. If you put all the ingredients in front of your kids you can just let there imaginations run wild. It is amazing what they can come up with.
