Hello everyone... with Thanksgiving on its way and Christmas waiting in the wings... I thought I'd share my new art activity for the upcoming season. Create fun Christmas tree ornaments with green popsicle and glittery stick-ons. If you're a librarian or a busy teacher, use your older students or volunteers to paint the popsicle sticks a lovely shade of green. We used acryllic paint and the hot glue gun to place sticks together.Here's what you need:
- Popsicle sticks ( box cutter to cut one end shorter than the others for the base of the tree)
- Sparkly stickers or rhinestones
-Paper stars ( printed from Word or you can use an Elison die-cut for these)
- Brown paper for the stems
Place the pieces together in a triangle and glue the ends with a hot glue gun. (I recommend teens and adults using the glue gun of course! )
Use white Elmer's glue for the sparkly ornaments and allow time to dry.
Hang with a ribbon and enjoy on your tree!
Also, here's some fun holiday books that you can enjoy this season:Auntie Claus by Elise Primavera--- A holiday book like no other! Filled with a great lesson and a fun read aloud for all ages.
Grades K-2nd
Saranormal by Rivers-- A great book in the series based on a character who has paranormal talents and is haunted by them during the wintery season.
Grades 4-6th.
