10 pts to whomever has the best Christmas craft ideas?

Question

I'm babysitting two kids tomorrow, ages 5 and 8. They were supposed to go on a special holiday trip, but it got cancelled because of the impending blizzard :( I want to do a nice Christmas craft with them, but I don't really have many ideas. The family is quite particular about their tree, so I don't think ornaments will work, and I don't want to do anything involving food.

Thank you soo much for your help!! Happy holidays :)

Answer 2

here is a good website....my kids have made the paper plate angels, paper bag puppets and the paper bag christmas stockings and all items are usual home items or can be purchased dirt cheap



you could also print out a work book for them and staple it together with all different christmas activities in it, that will keep them busy for ages! there are printable books like this one available on this web page too
