There’s a lot going on around here today, so last night I prepped a few activities to keep the girls busy today. This one in particular took virtually no prep time and required nothing more than a @dollartree sticker book for each and a hand drawn sweater with some designs. The next thing I knew, my niece was asking to color and cut it out. The girls were entertained…
Disclaimer: This was neither my work nor my idea. All credit goes to @moorethanhappy who was playing with the children during morning table time at school and created this with Play-Doh and some tools.

Simply draw Santa onto the side…
When it comes to this holiday craft, we have several options. A large paper plate will produce a large Christmas ornament, and a small plate will produce a small ornament. If you choose a thinner plate or cardboard, you can cut it into any shape you’d like before having the children decorate it.
