Tomorrow night is Adventure Club's last night for the term. So we are having a sleepover. I actually think it will be fun!
And because we are in the lead-up to Christmas, I thought I would do a series of posts on Christmas craft ideas. Because I am doing a few :) (the melting wax is related to this). And to start off with, I thought I'd tell you about a kid-friendly craft that we will be doing at Adventure Club tomorrow night.
We are going to make paper plate wreaths. It's pretty simple with next to no skill required and lots of creativity and imagination can go wild. I am currently cutting the paper plates up - I have traced a CD inside each plate and am cutting the inner circle out to leave a ~2inch wide paper plate ring. Older kids would be able to do this themselves but to save time I'm doing it now. (Well, at least some!)
I have then bought very thin tinsel-y thread to attach as a loop, to hang the wreath, and for decorations, the kids can glue on multi-coloured patty cake papers, pompoms (I have plain coloured fluffy ones and glitzy metallic glittery ones!), bright coloured feathers, textas, and any remaining glitter glue from last week's craft. I contemplated getting them to use paint to make green handprints, cut out the handprints and stick them to the plate as a leafy-type base (before adding on all the other decorations), but I think that will take too long for the limited time frame we have.
And to finish off I have some of those gift-wrapping loopy bows to attach to the bottom of their wreaths. I'm wondering if I can figure out a way to attach a bible verse to it too. I will post some photos of the final products :)
Edit: Sorry it's late, but here are some pics of our wreaths! :) Apologies for the sideways-ness, I didn't think to rotate them before I uploaded them. I'm used to Facebook where you can rotate them after you upload them :P
