thanks. I'll take my bow.
I've been thinking of a few more.
Decorated Lollipop Sticks. Paint or use coloured sticks. Red ones to make Father Christmas, white to make a snowman, brown to make a reindeer. Stick on goggly eyes, cut out hats and boots from card, pom pom noses etc. Stick a string on the bag to use as hanging decorates or use as place markers, even book markers.
Or cut out figures and stick them onto the lollipop sticks as puppets. Could try a nativity scene or santa, elves and reindeer (and even a sleigh).
Toilet roll tubes to make santa's, snowmen, carol singers, reindeers or elves.
Use a handprint to make a reindeer (fingers as legs, thumb at an angle for neck and head or fingers and thumb as antlers and face drawn on palm) and draw on eyes and hooves etc or santa's beard with a face drawn above. Can do on cards or cut out as decorations.
Paint pebbles or bits of driftwood with Christmas faces.
Food one Make Melted snowmen out of a rich tea biscuits covered in glazed icing (icing sugar and warm water mixed) with a white marshmallow stuck in it as a head. Use icing pens to draw on eyes, mouth, nose and stick arms.
Christmas wreaths out of paper plates. Cut out the middle and use the outer circle. Cut up old wrapping paper as leaves and flowers, use glitter, stickers, red pom poms as holly berries, ribbons etc.
Paper cone party hats to look like Christmas trees or snowmen.
Another stained glass one. Cut a Christmas tree shape out of card and punch holes in it as baubles. Stick coloured tissue paper behind holes and hang up so light shines through.
Last year I drew the outline of a big Christmas tree on card and DS painted it. When it was dry he used stickers from Poundland to decorate it and it looks really good. He was occupied for hours over several days, first painting and then sticking, and was very proud when he had finished. And I've saved it to hang up again this year.
Make a grinch out of green card and stick on bits for the face and a santa hat.
Make pipe cleaner antlers for a candy cane and stick goggly eyes on them as reindeer.
Tea light holders from jars with tissue paper stuck on with PVA glue. Looks really good if you use different colours overlapping.
Cut out circles and decorate with faces, then glue together in a big circle to make a wreath.
Self hardening clay and cookie cutters shaped like letters to spell out Merry Christmas. Paint once dry and hang from ribbons or thread.
Use small pots (or deodorant lids etc) and stand a pine cone in them as a christmas tree. Decorate with little stars, pom poms and pipe cleaners as tinsel.
Use coloured handprints to stick together in a circle as a wreath.
Cut the cups out of egg boxes, turn upside down, decorate, hang from a ribbon and use as bells.
