Gingerbread Men In Their Gingerbread Houses
Tree Decorating
These are simple painting and gluing activities.
These trees were purchased at thrift stores. We just plopped ‘em in the sensory table with beads and ribbon. They know what to do next!
This is a store bought magnetic tree, might have been Scholastic. Really can’t remember where I picked this up.
Hand and Footprint Art
These snowmen are fabric paint on a carpet squares. Nice gift for parents.
Hand print Santa. No need to draw a face, this is so cute as is.
Candy Canes
These delicious candy canes were done with just the child’s finger tips. Patterning is an important pre-reading skill!
These were made by using masking tape to cover the paper and create the stripes. Kids paint then remove the tape.
Each child marble painted two canes. Make sure they’re facing the right direction if you want to hang them is shown.
These kids are painting on the under side of paper bowls with masking tape on them to make a pattern to look like peppermint candies. Next let them dry then wrap them in cling wrap to look like wrapped hard candy.
The big reveal! The children had a great time decorating this cute house. Hopefully it will hold up and we can use it again in the spring. The outer (now inside) is printed with butterflies and flowers. I saved the box so we can stash it for the long winter.
Raisins, buttons, ribbons, glitter, and a little “teacher glue” (tacky glue). Free pattern on 
Free Pattern On 
You’ll need an old turntable or lazy Suzan. You might be able to use a spin art kit if you have one handy. These are just paper plates. You can do it without poking a hole in the middle just tape the plate to the turn table. Turn it on and let it spin. The kids can use 2 or 3 different colors of paint. When the paint is dry we add tongue depressor stick and wrap in cellophane.
