I've got a 6 month old daughter and I've decided that every year I'd like to make a christmas decoration for the tree with her. My mum always had loads of homemade decs made by us and I thought it was lovely. I'd like to make this a tradition so the xmas tree becomes personal and a story of her growing up. Sounds schmaltzy but I like the idea! So, obviously she's only 6 months old at the moment and not up to much gluing or sticking, so any ideas for what I could do with her this year? Get your creative juices flowing (or if you've seen anything to buy I'm not averse to cheating this year!).

Handprints cut out and sprinkled with glitter to hang up

Swedish woven paper heart with name and date of birth on it

2 photos stuck back to back,cut into bauble shape and laminated (
or sticky back plastic)

What a lovely idea!!

Why not start A Christmas time photo tradition too? -choose a place,and each year take family photos there---try to keep photos the same way up etc in future years you can frame them all,a friend did it in a bluebell wood and its a beautiful record of a growing family.Yes I know bluebells are not out at Christmas!!!!
